Reasons I’m thankful for BSB. They are the soundtrack of my childhood and their music brings me back to those moments growing up! I love how you can hear a song and instantly you are 13 again and back in that moment, I’m thankful their music can do that for me.
I’m also thankful for the incredible friendship I found because of BSB. One of my former co-workers and I have become great travel buddies all because of BSB. We share a mutual love for the boys and have traveled many times to see them, and meet them! Without them and their music we would have never started this tradition!
I am lastly thankful that BSB still makes amazing new music and continues to tour, because more people need to experience the greatness that is BSB!! They are the best!

The Backstreet Boys came into my family's life back in 2001. I lost both my Grandfather & Father-in-law on the same day in March of 2001. I turned to BSB music to help me cope with the loss of my loved ones. My daughter's were 6 & 9 years old and very close to both since we lived with my father-in-law and took care of him until the end of his life. I joined the BSB Fanclub in 2001 and met 2 of my closest friends Sheena from Indiana & Libby from North Carolina to this day we are still great friends and go to shows together!(We are meeting in Pittsburgh 2019) I am in Ohio .As I was trying to deal with my loss my friend Libby was going thru a divorce! I am thankful for BSB giving me my Best friends!!! Thank you & God Bless you all! Terri

I am thankful for the Backstreet Boys because they help to bring my family and I some happiness and "normalcy" and they help take me back to a time when life was more "normal". I am caregiver to my permanently disabled, quadriplegic husband and I am the main one raising our 3 boys these past 19 years and back then, on the 2nd August, 1999, my husband was in a near-fatal motorcycle crash and at that time, our boys were; 4 years old, 2 years old and our newborn was 3 months old and I had to take on looking after my husband 24/7, plus our 2 toddler's and newborn. The driver that cut off my husband on the freeway, fled the scene and was never caught. Our boys are older now but I am still caregiver and our lives are not the same anymore since the crash. I was told that my husband would be just like Christopher Reeve the rest of his life and would never walk again. (he is walking but has one leg shorter than the other now and can't get by one day without his medicines. Kevin had 6 operations to survive and died twice on the operating table and his crash was so traumatic, not just for him, but for me a lot, and it has also affected our 3 boys really. It's been a massive struggle all these years but we are still here and life goes on, but the Backstreet Boys do help to bring us some happiness and some "normalcy" in their music. p.s. I have managed to buy 2 tickets to see the Backstreet Boys for August 3rd, 2019 but we can't afford to meet them though. I really deeply wish we could meet them, (my youngest son, Saburo and I), but we will be there in the audience to support them. I think if we could meet them then that would be so special for us but they are much too costly for a meet and greet. I have always been a big fan of theirs since they first started and I always will be a huge fan, even though I am one of their older fans.
with best wishes,

I am thankful to the guys because they are amazing examples of what men can be. They have risen from the ashes of addictions, family loss, adversities, the music business and their ability to control, and so much more. In a world that can you can easily be lost in, they have known who they are, and have fought through and have come out on the other side of it all, renewed. So proud of you guys.

Growing up, my family didn't have a lot of money. I learned at a young age that I would need to pay my own way. When I was about 10 years old, I started earning money by cleaning my neighbours house. Every time I was there, she would let me listen to whatever I wanted on her beautiful CD Player.... so of course, I would BLAST Backstreet Boys for the entire day. I became a huge fan, even before BSB became majorly popular in North America. As a teenager, I desperately wanted to attend one of their concerts but couldn't afford to spend the money since I was saving for my university tuition. Fast forward to my 34th birthday - my husband bought me VIP BSB Tickets for the Las Vegas show. It was absolutely one of the best nights of my life. Though I didn't get to meet them personally, I DID get a handshake from AJ as he walked past me. My husband captured it on camera and it makes me smile every time. At the end of the day, BSB was in the background as I worked hard to pay my way and I was able to get to a point in my life where I can now afford to attend their concerts!
