Popular American boy band the Backstreet Boys, performed in Mumbai last week. The five-member group comprising Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, AJ McLean, Brian Littrell and Kevin Richardson kicked off the DNA World Tour concert held at Jim World Garden in Mumbai with the song ‘I Wanna Be With You.’
The band went on to perform their hits, including ‘Backstreet’s Back,’ ‘I Want It That Way,' ‘The Call,' ‘Get Down,’ ‘Incomplete,’ ‘As Long As You Love Me,’ ‘Drowning,’ ‘Don’t Go Breaking My Heart,’ ‘Larger Than Life.’ Videos of the concert have been doing rounds on the internet all week.
In the middle of the over two hours concert, Carter remarked someone should have warned the band about how hot it is in India. He added, “It is not the weather that is making it hot, it because of all you. We had no idea we had so many BSB fans here, but we now see it and we love it. It’s our second time in India and we were waiting from a very long time to come to Mumbai.” Richardson, meanwhile, said that next time “it won’t be just two cities but four, five and six cities.”
Actors Shraddha Kapoor, Jacqueline Fernandez, Meezaan Jafri, Ram Pothineni, singers Benny Dayal, Dhvani Bhanushali, Prakriti Kakar, Sukriti Kakar, social media sensation Faisal Shaikh, politician Zeeshan Siddique and Varun Dhawan’s wife, Natasha Dalal among others were also spotted at the concert. After the concert, Jacqueline said, “It was an amazing experience. I am the band’s biggest fan. This is like a childhood dream come true.”
