The Never Gone Tour is the sixth headlining concert tour by American boy band, the Backstreet Boys. The tour was launched in support of their fifth studio album, Never Gone (2005). It is the last BSB tour with all five members of the group, as Kevin Richardson left the band shortly after the tour concluded on June 23, 2006. However, Richardson permanently returned to the band on April 29, 2012.[1]

The tour grossed an estimated $49.5 million within 79 tour dates.[citation needed]
