VIP EXCLUSIVE: Backstreet Boys Howie D. talks new album, BSB and YOU

Backstreet Boys Howie D. interview

As a young girl, I remember my mother taking me and my three sisters to wait in line at wee hours in the morning just to purchase Backstreet Boys concert tickets. But we werent the only ones there waiting four hours before the tickets actually went on sale. It was a phenomenon and craze that my mother compared to that of the Beatles.

Wed annoy her with our constant blasting of I Want It That Way over and over and over on our mini boom boxes (which I am surprised we didnt blow the speakers out of), hanging up the phone line because we had to call radio stations to make our requests and putting numerous nail holes in our walls to hang up posters of our favorite member (mine was AJ, for those of you dying to know).

But we were just four fans (five counting my mother, who Im pretty sure had a soft spot for former Backstreet Boy Kevin Richardson) from the Midwest. The Backstreet Boys were a hot commodity and were loved in every major city (and then some) by millions of (mostly) girls around the world.

After selling millions of records and reigning pop music for years, Backstreet Boys member Howie D. is still the reserved one, the humble one or as fans refer to him asthe sweet one. Though the group consisting of Nick Carter, AJ McLean, Brian Littrell and Dorough have been through ups and downs throughout their music career of 18 years, including a lawsuit with shady impresario Lou Pearlman, AJs struggle with addiction and Kevins decision in 2006 to retire from the group, Howie credits the fans for never abandoning them.

Celebrity VIP Lounges Danity Donnaly had the chance to chat with Howie about being in THE most popular and most successful boy bands of our time, why he waited until now to release a solo album and that wild and wicked hip shaker in his new video 100.
