Backstreet Boys Share Their First Memories Of Britney Spears

Access Hollywood’s Sibley Scoles spoke to the Backstreet Boys as they announced their upcoming Las Vegas concert series, “A Very Backstreet Christmas Party,” at Zappos Theater inside The Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino this November and December. The boy band shared some updates about how they dealt with quarantine during the Covid-19 pandemic and why they’re excited to finally make a Christmas album after so many years together. Each member of the group also shared some of their heartfelt memories with Britney Spears when they were younger and in the same circles. They also wished her the best of luck as she battles to end her long-running conservatorship which has been controlled primarily by her father, Jamie Spears. Tickets for “A Very Backstreet Christmas Party” are available now at Ticketmaster.

Can the media stop acting like Britney is gone! Like this is the reason she in this situation smh

[@spencerwillock]

I don’t think that’s what she was trying to do, although i get what you mean. I think asking for people’s stories about her and whatnot is to kind of counter the idea that she’s “crazy”, and to show a human side of her, because for so long the media has only treated her as a singer and an entertainer, not a person. So hearing funny or heartwarming stories (or even sad ones) shows the real Britney.
