It became the decisive moment of the 90s pop concert when the Backstreet Boys floated into a sold-out arena hanging from hoverboards during the 1999 Millennium Tour. Those who witness the wonder will have lifelong nostalgia for the show, and fans who miss it will always regret doing so.

So, when the members of the Boys are working to reimagine the tour to be coming at the Las Vegas Stadium Hollywood ReporterHowie Dorough does not rule out similar moves.

“I can’t say if we’ll have hover boards, but we’re doing a show worth one, so there’s definitely some adaptation of the original tour, and that’s just figuring out “We’re not too far yet,” Dorough said while attending Wine Wine Wine and Shoes fundraiser in Irvine, California.

“However, the show is based on a millennium, so we’re sure to bring people back in time and if they haven’t seen that show in the past, it’s a chance to see it’s created, spherical.”

As for who the band (Dorough, Nick Carter, Brian Littrell, Kevin Richardson and AJ McLean) caught the attention of people in the band.

“AJ and I are most likely to fall,” he admitted. “But I have to say that when I, Kevin and Brian were surfing at Newport Beach a few years ago, I was the first to stand up on the surfboard!”

Dorough shared that the “Big Over Life” singer is currently working with “amazing, super talented” creative director and producer Baz Halpin, who has also toured the U2 and the Hawks’ Sphere Residency showcases and the Times of Taylor Swift.

After Dorough attended a Hawks show in Las Vegas, he got used to the idea of ​​creating concerts with many different elements.

"We saw the Eagles and Don Henley describe this, 'You're going to be the soundtrack for this movie,'" Dorough shared. We just shot some content that will be displayed on the screen, so completely different from our normality, we did a first time with the screen immersive show behind us. ”

The Grammy-nominated band, which previously broke the record with a bigger life span on Planet Hollywood, also reunited with longtime choreographer Rich and Tone Talauega. A clip shared on social media showed Littrell's parents Harold and Jackie slow dancing while the group rehearsed the 2001 ballad move.

As for how to include millennium favorites like "Spanish Eye" into it, Dorough said the band is still browsing the entire list.

“We’re talking about making Millennium recording the show, which is a challenge, and it’s only an hour, so we’re also trying to do some of our favorites and fan favorites,” he said. “I’m a big stick to make sure that what we do not only excites us, but also makes fans happy like they have their own money.”

Sphere isn't the only place Dorough has been using his creativity lately. The musician continues to support his wife Leigh Dorough and her business partner Charlotte Wienckoski, and support them along with their 2022 luxury handbag line Eslla.

The vegan, cruelty-free production line is made from cactus leather, and celebrities including Alicia Silverstone, Eve Harlow and Chaley Rose are all snatched away by their wallets. Dorough is about to help auction the signed Eslla handbag at a Wine Women and Shoes Fundraiser, and the winning bid ($3,300) benefit First Tee Orange County, a nonprofit that works to improve youth development through golf courses.

So, what do Backstreet Boys know about handbags?

"I know how to be a good, supportive husband - and stick with it!" Dorough, smiling, has two sons with 16-year-old James and 12-year-old Holden. “I think for women, handbags, shoes and sunglasses, it can improve good, positive energy and mood. That’s what my wife loves!

"I am proud of her trying to give people another option to buy something more environmentally friendly and cruelty-free. She has done something very forward-looking for our planet, and I am proud of her design, her eyes and their fusion."

Meanwhile, Dorough and his brother John Dorough were busy with real estate developments, just opened the Hyatt Place Place property in Cape Canaveral, Florida, and the apartment building (Surf) in Cocoa Beach. Surfing has a beachfront restaurant COA, and COA lounge where fans will find interesting backstreet boys, like cocktails called you...my fiiire, my fiiire ​​is ignited by flames.

The Florida Brothers have been developing real estate in the area for years, but given the musician’s love of food, bars and restaurants are a natural advancement. It was an exciting passion that sparked his "Howie Eatz" event series, where he dined with fans of the city where the Backstreet Boys toured.

"I did Howie Eatz because I just like food," he said. "I had to be a boy in the backstreet at the same time so I could lose all the weight in all my diet!"

Now, he is proud to bring his 32 years of global dietary adventure to Florida to help elevate the local dining scene.

“I love Brevard County, it’s a great place to raise a family, but one thing we’re missing is the cooking choices, so it’s great to be able to bring to the area,” he said. “We’re educating people with the taste and have this great chef (Eric Basta), who travels the world and blends different cooking styles like Asian and Italian.

"The bartenders are pairing things you wouldn't even think of, like Yuzu used in Japanese food. It's definitely a talent!"
