Meanwhile, Backstreet Boys recently said they wouldn't rule out doing a joint tour with fellow boy band *NSYNC.
The 'Pop' group - comprising Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick and Lance Bass - recorded 'Better Place' for the 'Trolls Band Together' soundtrack last year.
They then reunited with Justin for their first performance together since 2013 at the 'Cry Me A River' hitmaker's 'One Night Only' show at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles in March 2024.
However, they haven't toured since their 2002 'Celebrity Tour'.
Backstreet Boys were asked if they would consider doing a joint tour with their rivals during a recent interview.
AJ told E! News: "No one knows what the future holds.
"They haven't done something for 22 years, and we are gonna keep doing what we do.
"But we will see what happens."
