The problem with “boy bands” is that on a long enough time line, they always end up becoming “man bands”, and men get wrinkles, get fat, and most importantly, go bald. A.J. Mclean of The Backstreet Boys is no exception. Back when he was the bad boy of the 90s pop sensations, his hairline was already seeing a little recession, and he often covered it up by wearing stupid looking hats, or combing his hair forward (most of the group did this in the beginning, making them look an awful lot like the cast of a gay-porn movie, which would still probably have been called “The Backstreet Boys”). However, when seen on the group’s recent comeback tour, his hairline had reached old man levels of recession, giving him a widows peak for the ages, and he was developing a bald spot on the top of his head. He still rocks that weird facial hair too, and the combo makes him look like the weird older guy at the club that awkwardly hugs all the bar tenders and is always “meeting people” that never show up. He needs to shave his head or start wearing goofy hats again soon, because the receding look isn’t working for him.
