By Sam Rigby
Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block singers Nick Carter and Jordan Knight have formed a new duo.
The pair – known collectively as Nick & Knight – will release an eponymous studio album on September 2, before embarking on a North American tour.
Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block have previously united for a co-headlining tour.
Carter and Knight appeared on Good Morning America on Wednesday (April 30) to announce their collaboration, saying: “We’re almost pretty much done with the album. It’s a bunch of our pop, rock, R&B and urban. It’s all mixed together to create Nick & Knight.”
Carter added that both Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block are supportive of the project, which they have worked on during breaks from their respective bands.
Their 39-date tour will kick off in Nashville on September 15, and will wrap up in Calgary on November 22.
