Backstreet bad-boy A.J., has decided to make his
own way in the music world -- when he's not busy
with his day job -- as alter-ego "Johnny Suede".
McLean plans to make his solo debut on his next
birthday (Jan. 9) at the Hard Rock Live in Orlando,
VH1 reports.
McLean will perform original songs and covers as
Johnny Suede to launch the Orlando chapter of
VHI's Save the Music.
Save the Music is a non-profit group that seeks to
improve music programs in U.S. public schools.
No one knows how Johnny Suede and the tattooed
Backstreet member will differ. Brad Pitt played
Suede in the 1992 film "Johnny Suede", complete
with a foot-high backcomb.
Tickets for A.J./Johnny Suede's show are $15 each
at 1-407-351-LIVE or Ticketmaster.
The wildest Backstreet Boy is breaking away from
the pack.
