AJ McLean Talks New Solo Album, Backstreet Boys Biggest Hits, Sphere Shows and Sobriety

It’s been 16 years since his debut solo album and now AJ McLean is back with it’s follow up ‘my name is Alexander James.’ Of course it’s not like he’s been resting on his laurels since 2010: he’s a dad of two girls, for one thing, and The Backstreet Boys have been verrrrry busy, and they’re bigger than ever. We discuss the huge success of their Las Vegas Sphere shows and how it all kicked off back in Sin City 2017 when nine shows at Planet Hollywood stretched into 81!Wonderfully open and funny, McLean is more than happy to talk about the Backstreet Boys earlier years, recording their biggest hits in Sweden with Max Martin before Max Martin was the songwriting legend and producer he is today. He also reminisces about moving to LA back in the day and living in the same apartment complex as Britney Spears and Ryan Gosling circa the Mickey Mouse Club. Plus McClean discusses his twisty path to sobriety, the fights the boys have had, what he thinks of Blink-182’s iconic BB spoof and so much more.Stream "my name is Alexander James" ►► https://tinyurl.com/4bk95cwbThis interview sponsored by HBO Max!
