Backstreet Boy gets swine flu
Posted: 04:22 PM ET
Just as their album “This is Us” is about to drop (Tuesday October 6th), the Backstreet Boys are dropping out of several scheduled appearances. Brian Littrell has been diagnosed with H1N1 flu, also known as swine flu.
It’s unfortunate timing – the band was scheduled to appear today for a signing at NYC PINKTOBER Hard Rock Café and Tuesday on the CBS “Early Show,” performing their new single “Straight Through My Heart.” Band members Nick Carter, Howie Dorough and AJ McLean apparently aren’t showing any symptoms and have been prescribed Tamiflu as a preventative measure. The band just returned from touring in Tokyo.
Littrell released this statement via his record label: ”We were really looking forward to spending time with our closest fans and friends in NYC and take part of PINKTOBER, an unbelievable and important program. I hope we can come back soon and do everything we can to help.”
No word on the rest of their scheduled appearances.
