Brian Litrell, one of the Backstreet Boys, has swine flu. Litrell has H1N1 and made a video to apologize. Litrell explained his illness required him to keep away from people so he couldn’t make any public appearances. Litrell said his sickness was the cause of his no-show at a scheduled book autographing session. The other Backstreet Boys, Nick Carter, Howie Dorough and AJ McLean, have been given preventive medicines to help them against swine flu. So far, they are in the clear.
