 “I’ve known AJ as long as I’ve known my own band members. We’ve worked together in the past on one- off projects here and there, but never had the opportunity to create something together,” Fatone said in a statement.

“This tour gives us the chance to combine the best of both musical worlds. I hope our fans are ready for a show that’ll take them on a journey through the magic of *NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, and everything in between,” he added.
