(10/30/00, 6 p.m. ET) - The Backstreet Boys will kick off an extensive world tour in support of Black & Blue (due November 21) with an eight-week North American run starting January 23 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
Backstreet Boy Brian Littrell explained to LAUNCH where the tour will take them. "We are starting the tour the third week in January. I think we are starting in the South and Florida and we plan to do the first eight weeks straight in the United States as well as Canada," he said. "And then we will take a little break and we'll go over to the Far East and tour over there for about a month and a half. And then we'll take a little break. And then we'll come back to Europe, and do Europe for about a month and a half. And then we'll take a little break and hit South America. And we'll end up this time next year in the matter of a blink of an eye, I'm sure."
Littrell added that for the Black & Blue tour, the group will return to an "end-stage," rather than performing in the round like they did on the Millennium tour.
