BACKSTREET BOYS - BACKSTREET BOYS: 'WE COULD BE THE EAGLES'

Beloved boy band the BACKSTREET BOYS are determined to follow the career of rock greats the EAGLES - and never split. Despite losing a fifth of the group, following the departure of KEVIN RICHARDSON last year (06), the remaining four bandmates have no plans to wrap up their 15-year career any time soon. Singer HOWIE DOROUGH says, "We hope to be around, God willing, as long as the Eagles. "Each of us have always said, since day one, we're gonna support each other and each other's individual endeavours and give each other the chance to spread their wings, kind of like what the Eagles did and come back together every so often and do group records. "We're really tight, we're like a family."
