The Never Gone Tour
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Backstreet Boys'Never Gone Tour was a 2005 concert tour which featured eight songs from their fifth studio album, Never Gone, and all of the songs from their 2001 greatest hits release, The Hits: Chapter One.
This tour differed from their previous tours by not including dancers other than the boys themselves, making this tour more intimate. The opening acts were The Click Five, Kaci Brown, and Seminole County.
While in Sydney during the Australian segment of the tour, the Backstreet Boys encountered "Mr. Ten Questions" (Andrew Hansen) from the Australian comedic TV Show The Chaser. However, Hansen only asked two questions. The first was "How are you enjoying Australia?" and the second was "Is the name 'Backstreet Boys' a sexual reference because enduring your music is like being bludgered roughly from behind?". Although the first question was answered quite cheerfully, the second evoked an angry response.
This was the last tour with Kevin Richardson. He left the band in June 2006 to pursue other interests.
