And what can you preview about the show on March 1st?
- We are going to give you an excellent 2-hour show with a lot of energy, with a large theatrical performance, and we are going to present the biggest hits of our career as well as the newer songs.
About your most recent CD titled, "Unbreakable" - what have you sensed about its reception and the support on the part of your fans?
- The fans have been incredible, not just with our new album (Unbreakable) but with all the ones preceding it. We have the best fans in the world and they have supported us both as a group and in our solo projects, and also in other activities that we have done, like our foundations and charitable works. We really feel a lot of support from our fans and is the reason we keep doing this.
Actually, with the absense of Kevin Richardson, what has been the dynamic in the studio and in the shows?
- Definitely, there is a different dynamic. It's obvious that we miss Kevin (both) in the album and in the show, but I also believe the the group has remained solids and we have manage to overcome (his departure) and make an album with which we are very content. And it's because of this that people, even though it's obvious that Kevin is not there, really are not going to be missing much.
And did his retirement happen? What motivated him to leave the band?
- One day Kevin go us together and told us about his decision to take a break; he wanted to try different things in his life, among them starting a family...But we decided to continue with the show and I am very happy that we have been able to make the album and go out on this world tour.
How is the relationship between the 4 of you? You been working together for more than 15 years
- We have an incredible relationship and I would say we are like a family. We have experienced so many things together! For example, I have seen Nick grow from a 12-year-old; today he is almost 29... and I believe that the best memories of my life have been with the "Backs". Besides which we support each other in the different things in our lives, like starting a family, working on a solo career, acting, etc. And I believe that this is why we are still together; we have a large dynamic and we love each other like brothers.
But the the fans have grown up along with you, how would you describe that relationship?
- It's incredible how loyal the fans have, and they are so passionate. They have grown with us, and now, when you see one of the shows and think that the people who have been there for 15 years, you know that today they have their own families and are taking their children to the concerts too. Today we see how different family groups are enjoying themselves so much at our shows
