Kevin Richardson Leaves
From 2006 to 2012, the Backstreet Boys carried on making music without its oldest member, Kevin Richardson. His departure was sudden to put it lightly. During his absence, the boys did release two albums, Unbreakable and This Is Us. Many think that the meaning behind the Unbreakable album was aimed at confirming they could survive with Kevin – that the core of the band couldn’t be broken. Initially they were pressured to audition for a fifth member but they immediately said no.

Solo Try
When the band finished Black & Blue, they were working on their next album. However Nick Carter blindsided the other members by announcing he wanted to do solo work. Carter remained with the production company that BSB had just left, The Firm. This caused some friction, in fact, the group recorded material without Carter. Carter was meant to join them later on. He released his solo album and did remain on friendly terms with everyone else. However not long after and the band took an extended hiatus.
