The Backstreet Boys are insisting they were "Never Gone" as they launch their comeback album.
Nick Carter, AJ McLean, Brian Littrell, Howie Dorough and Kevin Richardson have been away from the pop music scene for five years and have been pursuing solo projects, having kids or, as in the case of AJ, working on staying sober.
And now they're relaunching their careers with a new album, Never Gone.
But with three of the group over the age of 30, can the group which has sold over 71 million records worldwide really call themselves a boy band anymore?
Howie Dorough insisted: "We never considered ourselves to be a boy band. We got that title pushed upon us.
"We have always considered ourselves to be a vocal harmony group."
Never Gone will be released on June 13.
