Authors: Nick Carter
Me and the boys, A.J. McLean, Brian Littrell, Howie Dorough and Kevin Richardson, in the early days of BSB.
From left: Brian, A.J., me, and Howie performing at the 2010 American Music Awards show.
Me and the boys at the 2010 American Music Awards.
Me and the guys accepting our Hollywood Walk of Fame star.
We were all so young when BSB first started!
These guys have always had my back, through thick and thin, and that means the world to me.
I feel so at home when I’m on stage.
