Backstreet Boys to Perform in Abu Dhabi This Fall

The favorites of all the girls of the 2000s are planning to celebrate their thirtieth anniversary with a performance in Abu Dhabi. Over three decades, the group has not broken up, but has raised an entire army of enthusiastic fans.

Drug addiction, accusations of violence, children's illnesses and their own - the soloists of the Backstreet Boys have gone through all this thanks to a strong friendship and music, saving them from all adversity and troubles. Their position is unique - the history of pop music does not know of a second boy band whose success has not waned for more than a decade. And it all began in 1993 in the city of Orlando, Florida. Along with Led Zeppelin and Sade, the Backstreet Boys are one of three groups whose first seven albums debuted in the top ten of the US album charts. It's hard to say what exactly has kept them going for nearly three decades in the fickle music world, from their early successes during the MTV heyday to the lawsuits, personal conflicts and sold-out tours for each anniversary. But the fact remains that the boy band has a huge following, so Backstreet Boys Abu Dhabi tickets should be purchased in advance. There will be many people who want to hear the charming vocalists perform, and they will come from all over the world.

Fans of their early hits will find a familiar sound in the viscous harmonies of the single "Don't Go Breaking My Heart", while those looking for new influences will be pleasantly surprised by the composition "Chances", co-written with Shawn Mendes, or "Passionate", which is dominated by funk. But for the Backstreet Boys, although music can evolve, some things remain the same, so when you come to their concert you can be sure - this will be your favorite boy band from the nineties, who once conquered the whole world with their voices. Once upon a time, alongside popular artists of the time such as Britney Spears, NSYNC, Westlife and Boys II Men, Westlife, a group of smiling guys, came to the forefront thanks to a series of their albums, which had simply enviable international success. 

The Backstreet Boys broke up several times, but restored the group again. After seven years of non-stop touring and performing, Backstreet took a break, during which each of the members took up solo projects. In 2004, the boy band reunited to release Never Gone in 2005 and Unbreakable in 2007. In 2006, Kevin left the group, and the rest stayed to work on their album This is Us, which was released in 2009.

The Backstreet Boys, after all the difficulties and twists of life, are back together again. At the concert they will perform both good old hits and their new songs, created especially for the anniversary tour.
