From RollingStone.com:
Backstreet Boy Nick Carter will kick off a solo tour in support of his first full-length release, Now or Never, on February 17th. The seventeen-date U.S. tour will wrap up in San Francisco in early March. Carter's solo release has been the source of much turmoil for the Backstreet Boys prompting a $75 million suit against Zomba Recording Corporation with all five of the Boys listed as plaintiffs. The group alleges that the parent company of Jive Records prevented Carter from fulfilling his contractual obligation to the Backstreet Boys by demanding that he release a solo effort, which further held up the release of the group's fourth album, the follow-up to 2001's Black and Blue.
