OMG, they’re back again — and they have a new member! During the Backstreet Boys‘ Toronto, Canada, concert, they enlisted Drake for a special duet.
In the middle of BSB’s Saturday, July 2, concert, fans were surprised when the band — comprised of AJ McLean, Kevin Richardson, Brian Littrell, Nick Carter and Howie Dorough — covered Drake’s “Hold On, We’re Going Home” before the “Hotline Bling” rapper, 35, joined them on stage.
“Toronto, I want you to make some noise, and I want you to sing this song as loud as you possibly can,” the Canada native told the crowd, per social media footage. “[‘I Want It That Way’] is one of the greatest songs in music history. I’ll be on stage for it. I’ll try to sing along too.”
The band posted the full clip of their rendition of the 1999 single via Twitter on Saturday, writing, “What’s better than ‘I Want It That Way’?” In the footage, Drake hit the track’s impressive high notes before BSB pretended to bow down to him. The men all ended up embracing when the number was finished.
