Never Gone is the long awaited follow-up album to the Backstreet Boys' 2000 studio release Black & Blue. Originally to be released in 2004, the release date was pushed back to June 14, 2005 due to unknown difficulties.
The first single off the album is "Incomplete", and is followed by "Just Want You To Know". The third single worldwide is "I Still...", while the next single in the United States is "Crawling Back to You". Other songs are "Weird World", "Beautiful Woman" and "Climbing The Walls". Never Gone has been certified as a platinum record in the U.S. It sold 293,000 copies during its first week of availability, and it debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200.
Never Gone was also released as a DualDisc, which is a CD on one side and a DVD on the other. The DualDisc version features the music video for "Incomplete" and a short documentary showing the making of the video. It was also released in a CD and DVD double-disc edition.
The Never Gone Tour commenced soon after the album's release.
On December 20, 2005 they released Never Gone "The Videos" which had the behind the scenes of "Incomplete" and the video along with "Just Want You To Know" (the behind the scenes, the original video, and the Sphyntker version), and their newest single "I Still" which also includes comments from the Backstreet Boys from the set and the video. This dvd also includes a slideshow with the music of "Just Want You To Know" and an interview in Germany on what to expect on their upcoming tour.
