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.

The Lulu Podcast: Turning Points
The UK's greatest female rock n roll legend, Lulu, has been in the music industry for over 60 years. She's seen people come, she's seen people go. She's seen people make it, break it, fake it. She has seen them rise, and she has seen them fall.
And all the while she's had a curiosity - what is it that makes people tick? How have they got to where they are? Where does their motivation come from? Where do they get their resilience? When life throws curveballs, how have they overcome them? What are their turning points?
In this brand-new project, Lulu sits down with guests to discuss the pivotal moments in their lives that have shaped them into the people they are today.
