Before launching into the iconic song, People magazine, which credits the online material, reported that Drake shared a personal story about why the Backstreet Boys’ success is important to him. “At 13, I had a bar mitzvah, and at my bar mitzvah, for the first time in my life, this girl I was in love with came up to me while one of the greatest songs in the world was playing, and asked if I would dance with her “, he said, according to the magazine. “It was the first time I ever felt recognized and it was the first time I felt like, you know, I had a chance to be cool.” According to a video posted on the band’s social media, Drake contributed vocals to a few harmonies, but mostly he danced, pumped up the enthusiastic crowd and enjoyed the show from the best seat in the house. He also took a final bow with the band. You could tell Drake wanted it that way. The Backstreet Boys tour runs through November, with upcoming stops in the US and Canada, followed by Spain and Germany.
