Summary:It’s the dilemma every boyband will one day face: what do you do when you’re not a band of boys anymore, but a bunch of grown men?

For BSB that predicament came probably a decade ago and they’ve proven that even with the word “boys” in your name you can still forge a long-lasting career in the most fickle of industries. So while it could have been super awkward to watch five grown men singing the same songs they've been singing for twenty years, it was instead amazing, reminding us of a simpler time when all we had to worry about was homework and getting out of PE.

Since forming over two decades ago, the Backstreet Boys have been a constant presence on the music scene, putting out records, commanding attention and touring every few years. Their passion for the job and affection for each other is why they have succeeded where countless other boybands have failed (just take a look at the Big Reunion for proof) and that shone through at their O2 gig. Combined with their back catalogue of catchy hits and some still-impressive moves, we fell in love with them all over again on Friday night.

Backstreet’s Back? They never really went away.
