Time for the new generation? Backstreet Boys member Brian Littrell is getting ready to pass the torch to his 22-year-old son, Baylee.
During a recent chit-chat with TODAY, the 49-year-old singer revealed Baylee auditioned (and got a ticket to Hollywood) in the upcoming season of American Idol.
He was just texting me last night, going, ‘Dad, dude, how do you do this? Like, it’s hard work,’ He’s been busting his butt, and I’m super proud of him. He kind of gets a new sense of reality of what this is.
Even though they’re both musicians, they don’t share the same taste in music. Brian is best known for his pop/boy band style. Meanwhile, Baylee is into country music.
Last year, Baylee talked about growing up on the road with his dad…
I’ve pretty much grown up on the road since I can remember. So my first crib was a bunk on a tour bus. So really, my first memories are being out on the road and being abroad. And then when I was 10, I started opening up for them. I would sing two or three songs before the opener would come out and play their set. And then that transcended into 2019, being able to go on a 42-show run with them and be the official opening act.
Sounds like he might have a little bit of an advantage over some of the other contestants on Idol. In fact, he’s already released some songs on his YouTube channel.
This one was released back in 2023…
Good luck on Idol, Baylee!
