NKOTBSB are doing something a little different. New Kids on the Block and the Backstreet Boys are about to make history by broadcasting a concert LIVE in more than 300 cinemas across Europe.

Here’s the deal. NKOTBSB’s show at London’s O2 Arena that is set to take place later this month will be transmitted via a satellite feed and countries that are going to get in on the concert are Ireland, Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Estonia, and Latvia.

Yes viewers will get the ultimate experience, including high def camera AND 5.1 surround sound. It’s going to be a concert experience for fans in movie theaters that may be sitting miles away from the guys. Hey, it works!

Of the idea, Backstreet Boys star Howie Dorough says, “It’s so exciting to know that even though we weren’t able to bring our show to certain places in Europe our fans will still have the opportunity to experience it like they were there. We can’t wait for everyone to see the show!”

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 weren’t 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.

We’d 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 didn’t 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 I’m 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 as…the “sweet” one. Though the group consisting of Nick Carter, AJ McLean, Brian Littrell and Dorough have been through up’s and down’s throughout their music career of 18 years, including a lawsuit with shady impresario Lou Pearlman, AJ’s struggle with addiction and Kevin’s decision in 2006 to “retire” from the group, Howie credits the fans for never abandoning them.

Celebrity VIP Lounge’s 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″.

Check out the interview below.

One-fourth of The Backstreet Boys, Howie D (Howie Dorough) is branching out on his own for a hot minute. Now before you start with the oh-yeah-yet-another-one-attempts-the-solo thing, listen to this. This may be the most successful of all BSB solo attempts. When Howie’s solo debut album “Back To Me” releases you can bet that those giddy girls from back in the Backstreet Boys days will be dishing out some dough for this one. Sweet Howie has released a new single called “Lie To Me” and from what I can hear, it is radio friendly and could be a surefire hit.
