Nearly four months ago, word got out that the megastar Backstreet Boys' U.S. tour would include a Thanksgiving weekend visit to Rupp Arena, the first major homecoming for Kentucky natives and cousins Brian Littrell and Kevin Richardson. Classmates at Tates Creek High School, they got to know each other well in choir during the 1991-92 school year, when King was a junior and Littrell a sophomore. She was among the voices from the Tates Creek Choir that provided the backing vocals to Perfect Fan, both on the CD and at the two shows at Rupp Arena.
King shares a few moments from the choir's special weekend.
From November 27 The Backstreet Boys, entered Rupp Arena on boogie boards to start their concert. Every other night, Kevin Richardson and Brian Littrell hear the screams of thousands of adoring fans. I Want it That Way. Not only were people scalping Backstreet Boys tickets in front of Rupp Arena last night, some of those tickets weren't even real. Rick Reno, the arena's general manager, produced a counterfeit ticket that center officials had obtained early in the evening.
