The new single
Dont Go Breaking My Heart was released Thursday.
LITTRELL:Weve recorded maybe 10 or 12 songs and this one just hit.
It kind of screams Backstreet Boys.

MCLEAN:To me it sounds like if you were to mash-up The Weeknd with the Bee Gees.
Its reminiscent of old-school Backstreet Boys, likeMilleniumdays, with a more modern twist to it.
Its a feel-good record.
The new album
The bands upcoming 10th studio album is expected in the fall.
MCLEAN:The album is slowly starting to take shape.
Were fans of all walks of music and thats what youre going to hear on this album.
LITTRELL:That was a great answer, AJ.
Im not even going to attempt that one.
MCLEAN:Thank you, I had that one written down just in case.
The Vegas Residency
The Boys return to Sin City in July.
We love it out there.
Its become a second home.
LITTRELL:For us, [Vegas is] a perfect fit.
To be honest, its cake.
Its like eating wedding cake every day.
MCLEAN:Hes not lying.
You dont have to pack your crap and load your tour bus or get out of town.
Its been a positive blessing for us.
The tour
In March of 2019, the band will once again hit the road.
MCLEAN:This tour will commemorate 25 years together.
Obviously were going to do the hits and then some stuff from our new album.
Were going to take a stab at knock it out of the park.
Another album?
Something special is planned for late 2018.
LITTRELL:The fans might get two albums this year.
To commemorate the anniversary, we got a lot going on.
Never count the Backstreet Boys out.
