Backstreet Boys star A.J. McLean is confident former bandmate Kevin Richardson will rejoin the group. Richardson left the group last year to concentrate on starting a family, but the four-piece refused to rule out a possible return for the singer.

And McLean insists Richardson will soon be desperate to get back on stage.

He says, "I really think he's going to miss it. I really do. Some of the guys you ask and they'd probably tell you the total opposite. Me, I really believe he may come back."
