The Mama’s
Then and even now, the Backstreet Boys have enjoyed a mainly female demographic. And hey, it is a group of five men who can sing and dance, so come on. Over the years, the young girls who saw them back then also go to concerts now but they’re all pretty much mothers now. If you look a their fans, the women are all in their late 20’s and 30’s (guilty as charged). This fact was humorously mentioned during a rap battle between the Backstreet Boys and Charlie Puth – Puth claimed that only moms were their fans.
A.J. Mclean’s Struggles
Everyone knows that A.J. Mclean was perceived as the ‘bad boy’ of the group. And it honestly wasn’t hard to see why. With his hard look, tattoos, and wild streak, it was clear that A.J. was a trouble maker. During the late 90’s, his struggles with hard substances became more difficult to hide. As the success of the band grew, the more McLean suffered so he took an indefinite leave of absence and checked into rehab. This sparked the group’s hiatus until their heartwarming reunion on Oprah.
