In , there were some things I wanted to do in my own life and start a family and be normal for a while I didn't feel inspired. Talking about his return to the group, he said: "Now, recently I felt inspired and wanted to create again and make music again. Kevin sang with the rest of the Backstreet Boys for their new album A World Like This and is currently on tour with the group until October. Kevin's bandmate Howie Dorough told Star magazine the reason the group had such staying power was because they had built up their fan base through hard work.
He said: "[The X Factor] wasn't around when we started, we had to do the grassroots approach and that's why we have such staying power and an unbelievable fan base.
We don't have to worry that we were only hot for a while. Kevin Richardson has explained what led him to temporarily quit the Backstreet Boys several years ago. Richardson left the boyband in to take time away from the spotlight in order to start a family with his wife Kristin.
The singer returned to the Backstreet Boys on a full-time basis in April , and is featured on the group's new album In a World Like This. Richardson discussed his long history with the group on Access Hollywood , and revealed his reasons for leaving and subsequently returning to the band. We were kids, some of who idolized Kevin, but we all collectively could not imagine the Backstreet Boys without him.
How could he do this , we thought. How could he leave us? How could he leave them? We thought he cared! Was it all a lie? Before there were instagram posts and magazine articles about what self-care looks like and the many forms it takes, there was, for us, Kevin… taking a leap from something that he no longer felt inspired to take part in.
And that act, leaving behind something great, something that works on the surface, something that pays for your lifestyle and more, is self-care at its finest. The Backstreet Boys went on to make two albums without Kevin and a huge collaborative effort with the New Kids On The Block before he returned, fresh and invigorated and man, we feel it.
Sometimes quitting is the best thing you can do for yourself so that you can come back bigger and brighter — and that is the case for Kevin Richardson. He is better because of it and so are we. At mostly a young age, we learned what it meant to have the courage to leave something behind for the greater good. We learned what putting your needs first looked like.
