3.14.00 18:15 EST Backstreet's A.J. Goes Solo... Sort Of
The Backstreet Boys' "Into The Millennium" North American tour ends Wednesday
night in Toronto, but A.J. McLean won't be off the road for long.
A.J., using the pseudonym "Johnny No Name," kicks off his first solo tour in
Los Angeles on March 27 with scheduled stops in Las Vegas, Milwaukee,
Minneapolis, Chicago, Detroit, Washington D.C., and New York. All shows will
benefit VH1's "Save The Music" education program.
The singer's mother and manager, Denise McLean, told MTV News on Monday that
her son's hour-plus set will consist of material ranging from Stone Temple
Pilots and Eminem covers to Brian McKnight's "Back At One" and A.J.'s own
composition "If You Knew What I Knew."
A.J.'s first solo gig came last January when he performed as "Johnny Suede"
at the Hard Rock Cafe in Orlando, but he insists that all things Backstreet
come before thoughts of a solo album.
"It's definitely not going to happen anytime before the next album, but it
will probably happen sometime after the next album," McLean recently told MTV
News' John Norris of a potential solo offering. "We have some ideas,
collectively as a group, about doing something really different for this next
album that has never really been done before, which will kind of display each
of our solo abilities."
For his first solo tour, A.J. will bring along the Backstreet Boys band, and
as opening acts, percussionist Mindy Abair and L.A. girl group Nobody's
Angel.
