2 Might *Actually* Become 1— AJ McLean From The Backstreet Boys Just Gave Us An Update On A Possible Joint Tour With The Spice Girls

“Who is the greatest band of all time?” may seem like a difficult question to answer.

Some might say The Beatles. Maybe The Rolling Stones. One Direction perhaps.

Well, I’m here to say that those ARE ALL WRONG!!!!!!!!!

Because the only real undisputed answer is “The greatest band of all time is an equal tie between the Backstreet Boys and the Spice Girls”.

Not to mention there seems to be a new Spice Girls reunion tour rumour every 2 months. One of the latest is that they’re getting the band back together for King Charles’ Coronation.

So what’s the deal? 

Recently, BuzzFeed Canada sat down with AJ McLean of the Backstreet Boys (and of my dreams) to chat about his new show Fashion Hero: A New Kind of Beautiful— which is streaming now on Paramount+.

And I had one very important earth-shattering, life-changing question to ask AJ— Will the Backstreet Boys and Spice Girls ever go on tour together?

After showing him the throwback photo below, AJ told us, “It was a really fun day. We’ve stayed really close friends with most of the girls. And, in that time period, we were both on top of the world.”

“There’s been rumblings of us touring together… if it ever [happens], I think it might be one of the most massive tours ever.”

Queue me trying not to yodel in excitement. But I needed more answers, and I asked AJ for the percentage of that likely happening. GIVE ME NUMBERS!! *slams fists on table*

So okay. It’s not great. BUT a 30% chance of a Backstreet Boys and Spice Girls reunion is waaaaay better than 0% tbh. I can live with that. I’ve clung to a lot less, let me tell you.

What do you think— can you live with 30%, or are you giving up on the good times because this tour seems larger than life? Let us know down below!
