The Backstreet's Back Tour was a concert tour by the Backstreet Boys that began in 1997 and concluded in 1998.[1] It was also the first tour to be held all over the United States. The set list included songs from their second album Backstreet's Back (International) (1997) and several songs from their debut U.S. album, Backstreet Boys (U.S.) (1997).
During this tour, Backstreet Boys member Brian Littrell underwent surgery to correct a congenital heart defect he had had since birth. Surgery was necessary because the hole in his heart was getting larger. The group postponed a couple of show dates but Littrell was back performing with the group within weeks after the surgery only to have oxygen tanks in the wings of the stage.[2]
