AJ McLean: "A lot of people look at me like, how the hell do you have low self-esteem doing what you do?"

In this episode of 'The Lulu Podcast: Turning Points' Lulu chats with Backstreet Boys founding member AJ McLean - Alexander James McLean. AJ talks to Lulu about the big turning points in his life - the moment he became a Backstreet Boy, 32 years ago; understanding who he really is - Alexander, not AJ; and the light-bulb moment that made him address his addiction. He talks about celebrating 25 years of BSB's hit album 'Millennium'; why they are returning to Las Vegas to perform at Sphere; how he doesn't want to be like his dad; and the important part women play in his life. Millennium 2.0 is available for preorder and presale now at  ⁠backstreetboys.com⁠.  You can buy tickets to see Backstreet Boys at Sphere, Las Vegas on 12 performances on July 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 27 and August 1, 2 at backstreetboys.com.  Follow on Instagram: @thelulupodcast Follow on TikTok: @thelulupodcast CONTENT WARNING: This episode discusses substance abuse.
