Backstreet Boys have high hopes for their second shot at fame - they want to be as big as The Rolling Stones.

The nineties pop act, who enjoyed a string of hits including I Want It That Way, have reformed minus former band mate Kevin Richardson.

Singer Nick Carter has been battling alcohol and drug demons for ten years, but has sobered up for their comeback tour and lost fifty pounds.

He says, "There are demons I am fighting but I just want to be fit and healthy. If you fall off the horse, you just have to get back on again. We're here to stay - we want to be as big as the Rolling Stones."
