[情報] AJ: I can finally speak my mind
Taking a long-awaited side trip, A.J. McLean says his first solo project will
let fans know "who I am outside of the Backstreet Boys."
"It feels good, man. It's really been 15 years in the making," McLean, 30,
tells PEOPLE.
While he's not leaving the group, and will soon be heading out on a European
tour with his band-mates, McLean is stepping out on his own for two concert
appearances this Sunday and Monday in California, performing songs from his
album that comes out later this year.
"Once I got sober things really kind of kicked into gear for me," says
McLean, a recovering alcoholic now six years sober. "Everything I was
feeling, I started just putting it down with pen on paper and applying music
to it."
Audiences who catch his solo shows (including shows at small venues
throughout Europe after the Backstreet tour ends May 15) won't get a boy-band
show.
"There are no dancers, no big flashing lights – it's just about the music
and about me." he says. " I can speak my mind, say whatever I want to say,
and not feel like I have to be censored. It's me being myself and I'm not a
kid anymore. If I want to say the S-word on stage I can do that. I'm 30 years
old. I can talk about what I want to talk about."
How do the other Backstreet Boys feel about it? "The group is very supportive
of him," says a source close to the band. In fact, the source adds, "You will
most likely see the group members at the shows in Los Angeles and London."
