Naturally, during the presentation where there are thousands of fans, Kevin starts off the speeches. “Who would have thought that 20 years ago, when we began this journey together, that this would be a stop along the way?” he says through tears, followed by Howie. “For us, as the Backstreet Boys, to be honored here, to be put in stone, next to The Osmond Family, next to Boyz II Men — I know, we’ve made a mark in history.”
Nick faced a ton of screaming fans during his speech, so it was tough to even hear him, of course! “When I was a really young boy, I first came to Hollywood — hopped on a plane with my mother, [and] we had dreams of, thinking I was going to become Leonardo DiCaprio, but that didn’t work,” he said. “I never ever imagined in a million years that would be a part of this. I didn’t know it was even possible.”
Let The Tears Role
AJ and Brian wrapped it up through tears, too. AJ calling it the best day of his life, after his wedding day and the birth of his daughter of course. And Brian definitely got emotional, actually wiping his eyes after thanking God.
