On Saturday (2 July) the Backstreet Boys performed in Toronto, and surprised fans with the city's biggest star Drake to perform "I Want It That Way" with them.

The Backstreet Boys are currently on their DNA World Tour, and over the weekend they played a show in Toronto, and gave fans a surprise by bringing out one of the city's biggest stars Drake.

Drake, who recently released his surprise album Honestly, Nevermind, joined the legendary group for "I Want It That Way", and the Backstreet Boys also added in a couple of lines from Drake's own "Hold On, We're Going Home" track.

Billboard reports that Drake said of the track at the concert, "At 13 years old, 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 she asked me if I would dance with her."

He added, "It was the first time I ever felt acknowledged, and it was the first time I ever felt like I had a shot at being cool."

Last week GoldLink shared a remix of Drake's "Massive" with PinkPantheress and Sam Gellaitry.
