I want it that way meets please don’t go girl in this beyond-brilliant collaboration: the Backstreet Boys (pictured) and New Kids on the Block have announced that they will be touring together next summer! No dates have been announced yet, but the two not-boy-anymore bands will be performing at this year’s American Music Awards Nov. 21. This is enough to bring us right back to junior high. N’Sync and Boys II Men: any chance of a rival tour?
