The Backstreet Boys have announced that member Kevin Richardson has decided to leave the group. Here's the statement from their website:

Statement to our fans from the Backstreet Boys regarding Kevin Richardson departure from the group: “Earlier this year, after much soul searching, Kevin Richardson came to us and told us that he had decided to leave the group and pursue other interests. He gave his blessing to continue the music without him.

We have no intention of replacing Kevin, and the door will always be open for him to return to the Backstreet Boys. We wish him the all the best in his future endeavors.

This weekend we are returning to the studio to begin the follow-up to Never Gone, and will see you later this year with a new album.”

Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell and AJ McLean

Of course, Kevin had to follow the announcement up with an announcement of his own on his Myspace page. Click here to view.
