Backstreet Boys disbanded for five years with AJ Mclean falling victim to drugs & alcohol; because of which he had differences with band member Kevin Richardson. AJ later overcame his drug abuse. The boys made their comeback with their single “Incomplete” on 28 March, 2005 from their latest record “Never Gone”. Backstreet Boys have been significant in shaping the way boy bands and pop culture have evolved. They will always be remembered as the teenagers that stepped into a world of adults and changed the face of pop music culture.

Impressed by the success of the Backstreet Boys, Sony BMG, which already owned 20 percent of Jive's parent company, purchased the remainder for $3 billion, the most ever paid for an independent record company. In the meantime, The Firm negotiated tens of millions of dollars in advance payments for recordings and performances from Jive and the concert promoter Clear Channel. Also by the end of 1999, the Backstreet Boys faced new problems declaring their current Jive contract null and void, soon striking one of the largest record deals ever valued at $60 million with Jive.[11]
