Huge 90s girl band and boy band in talks to tour together as member teases epic collaboration
NINETIES pop fans will be in heaven after “rumblings” a top boyband and girl group could reunite for a tour.
One of the boyband stars has vowed the collaboration would be “one of the most massive tours ever.”
Backstreet Boys star AJ McLean has opened up on the prospect of a joint tour with the Spice Girls.
He told BuzzFeed: “We’ve stayed really close friends with most of the girls.
“And, in that time period [Nineties], we were both on top of the world.
“There’s been rumblings of us touring together… if it ever happens, I think it might be one of the most massive tours ever.”
Yet pop fans might need to hold their horses.
When asked about the realistic chances of it happening, he added: “I think it’s probably in the low 30s. Maybe 20s.
“I don’t think it’s that high…They’ve all moved on, they’re all doing their own things. But you never know.”
The Spice Girls split in 2000 when the band announced their decision to go their separate ways.
It came after Geri Halliwell decided to quit the group in 1998.
This year, Mel B revealed in a recent interview that she will “make sure” the iconic pop group are back on stage this year.
Meanwhile, last year the Backstreet Boys made their long-awaited return to live performing in their Las Vegas residency.
The band — which also includes Brian Littrell, Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson and Howie Dorough — are enjoying playing now more than ever as they approach their 30th anniversary this year and have been bonding over golf.
Meanwhile AJ has been battling issues away from the group, and has temporarily split with his wife.
“Marriage is hard, but worth it,” AJ told TMZ last month.
He added: “We have mutually decided to separate temporarily to work on ourselves, and on our marriage with.
“The plan is to come back together and continue to nurture our love for one another, and our family.
“We ask for respect and privacy at this time.”
