Backstreet Boys love their gay following and admit they probably party even harder than their straight fans. 

Although none of the members are gay themselves, the guys explained to Attitude magazine that they are all "in touch" with their feminine sides and have a lot of time for their international LGBT fanbase:

"I can't explain why. I think a lot of the guys are in touch with their feminine side though, if that's OK? We've definitely had a huge gay following at the concerts, and we love them. They know how to frickin' party!"

The 'I Want It That Way' superstars will bring their tour to the UK in April and you can catch them at the following venues around the country:

• April 20 - Belfast's Odyssey Arena
