Backstreet Boys fans who couldn’t get tickets to the band’s residency at the Sphere shouldn’t be too bummed … as BSB member Howie Dorough<\/a> just gave an impromptu performance while out and about in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Check it out … the boy bander hit the stage at Barbershop Cuts & Cocktails at The Cosmopolitan in Sin City Thursday night, where he was celebrating his 52nd birthday with his wife, Leigh Boniello, and friends.<\/p>\n

While the singer wasn’t slated to perform, given he was the guest of honor, HD surprised fans with a solo performance of Backstreet Boys’ hit, “I Want It That Way.”<\/p>\n

In the vid, Howie belts out the popular ’90s ballad, while being backed up by the house band, The Regulators, and a crowd of adoring fans. He later took a moment to mingle with fans, taking a number of selfies with those treated to the surprise show.<\/p>\n

Howie is currently in Vegas<\/a> for BSB’s “Into the Millennium” residency … which just announced an extension to its already wildly successful run.<\/p>\n

It’s no wonder Howie was in an extra celebratory mood this week.<\/p>\n

Still, the Barbershop is known for having its fair share of surprise performances … with the likes of Bruno Mars<\/a>, Sir Rod Stewart<\/a>, Sammy Hagar<\/a>, among others hitting the intimate venue’s stage over the years. Even Flavor Flav<\/a> was enjoying the performance.<\/p>\n
