The Backstreet Boys recently proved that not even a global pandemic could keep them from making music together.
The beloved boy (turned man) band has been giving us bops since they first formed way back in the early ’90s.
They threw it back to 1993 Monday with a nostalgic candid band photo as they celebrated 27 years together, thanking their fans for the journey.
