efore this fab, harmony-slaying five

piece—who were nominated for Best

Boy Band at the 2018 iHeartRadio Music

Awards—embark on their FOMO Tour (the fun

kicks off July 11 in Dallas with opener Mackenzie

Ziegler), we asked each of the “Phases” singers one

important question...

Girls’ Life: What’s the best thing a fan has ever

given to you?

“There was a little girl in the front row at a show

who kept trying to hand me a flower, and it was

just super sweet! When I took it, she was so happy.

I’ve never had a better feeling.” —Nick, 21

What’s the most starstruck you’ve ever been?

“Meeting AJ McLean from Backstreet Boys. He

came up to us and told us he was a big fan and

that we’re keeping the boyband name alive and

strong—that was so surreal.” —Edwin, 20

Describe your most memorable fan encounter.

“In Denver, 23 fans were so upset they weren’t able

to see us perform—so we brought them backstage

to meet us! It was so fun.” —Zion, 20

When you’re not performing, what are you doing?

“Drawing. I’ll do it while I’m in my bunk or find a

place at the venue. So many things move me to

draw, but life experiences are really what inspire

me every day.” —Austin, 22

Name one thing your bandmates do on tour that

*really* annoys you.

“Zion keeps everyone up all night playing Fortnite—

all night!” —Brandon, 19
