Backstreet’s back! All five members, that is. As the band announced during a London concert Sunday, Kevin Richardson is returning to the Backstreet Boys.

In 2006, Kevin left the band to “move on with the next chapter” of his life, he said in a statement on the band’s website. He has occasionally re-joined the band for special concerts since then, but hinted at a full-time return in an interview with Ryan Seacrest last fall.

“I would never say that it would never happen,” Kevin said at the time. “I would love to perform with them again on a more regular basis. Our chemistry when we come together just feels like old times.”

It’s now official and so is a new BSB album.
