AJ McLean reminisces about the wild times from years of touring with the Backstreet Boys. The singer, 47, appeared at 90s Con over the weekend, joining other stars for the “Music of the 90s” panel moderated by PEOPLE’s Breanne L. Heldman at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford. During the panel, the musicians shared entertaining stories from their careers, including a revelation from McLean about a past fistfight with bandmate Nick Carter.
McLean recalled a heated moment when Carter teased him about his acne, leading to a comic book getting accidentally set on fire. This escalated into a scuffle between the two band members, with the humorous backdrop of other bandmates reacting to the chaos in their shared living space.
The Backstreet Boys are gearing up for a Las Vegas residency, bringing back their iconic album “Millennium” for fans to relive the nostalgic era. McLean expressed excitement about the upcoming shows and highlighted the band’s enduring bond with their dedicated fanbase.
