Add the andPOP Facebook Application(andPOP) - Kevin Richardson has officially left the Backstreet Boys.
Brian Littrell told andPOP last month that the group was planning to go back into the studio at the end of this month to record their next record, which they will continue to do beginning this weekend without Richardson.
The band has no plans to replace Richardson, who has left to pursue other projects.
"It was a very tough decision for me but one that was necessary in order to move on with the next chapter of my life," Richardson said a statement on the official Backstreet Boys web site.
The band posted a message of their own saying they will miss Richardson and wish him all of the best.
"The door will always be open for him to return to the Backstreet Boys. We wish him the all the best in his future endeavors," they said.
