The Backstreet Boys are ready to take their live show on the road! Well, water, actually. All five members of the beloved boy band recently reunited and are set to celebrate their 20 years as a group by setting sail on a concert cruise!

"Next year, just so you guys know, there will be a BSB cruise next year with all five [bandmates]," member A.J. McLean announced as the band took the "Good Morning America" stage today (Aug. 31).

Joining "the boys" this morning was newly reinstated member Kevin Richardson. "I'm a person that always follows my heart and follows my gut and my heart said now's the time," Richardson said of his decision to return to BSB after leaving the group back in 2006.

"It just felt right," Kevin continued. "I feel inspired to make music again with these guys and you know, when I left, it had nothing at all to do with our relationship ... It just had to do with me just needing to be inspired, so I had to step away for a while. 2013 is gonna be a big year for us, it's our 20th anniversary. We're in the studio right now working on an album, so we're gonna have that ready hopefully by the beginning of next year."
