Backstreet Boys Celebrate 26 Years

Today is a special day for the Backstreet Boys. They celebrated the milestone with a throwback photo of themselves performing in their high school gym.

“On this day in 1993 we became the Backstreet Boys. From performing in high school gyms to heading out on a world tour this summer (plus a #1 album!!), never could the five of us have imagined what the past 26 years would hold,” the heartfelt message read. “Thank you all ❤️ Here’s to many more years! #KTBSPA #BSB26.”
