Nick Carter, AJ McLean and Joey Fatone Sing at Zombie Convention
It seems that the world of boy bands is colliding with the world of zombies.
The Backstreet Boys’ Nick Carter and AJ McLean along with NSYNC’s Joey Fatone took Walker Stalker Convention by storm today weekend to promote their zombie western movie, Dead 7.
The boys collided with the cast of The Walking Dead and even performed a song during one of their panels-and guys, they’ve still got it.

The boys went into detail about how the western-zombie themes came about for Dead 7. Joey joked that when Nick called him to be in the film, he didn’t answer claiming “I don’t talk to Backstreet Boys.”
They said that Cher was almost in the film, but then ended up being too busy.
Nick Carter also tried to get Sisqo, singer of The 90’s hit “The Thong Song”, James Maslow from Big Time Rush, Ashley Parker Angel, Jesse McCartney, and of course The Backstreets’ own Kevin Richardson and Brian Littrell.

Nick, whose wife Lauren just had a beautiful baby boy, jumped around to many members of the casts of The Walking Dead and Gotham and chronicled his adventures on instagram.
