To celebrate their new album and music-to-light show, the Backstreet Boys visited the Empire State Building to flip the switch in a ceremonial lighting and engage with fans in a private Q&A on the iconic building’s 80th floor. They discussed their favorite holiday traditions, the tracks on their Christmas album, and life on tour with 103.5 KTU’s Carolina Bermudez and Greg T.
