Well, we made it through the summer with not too much serious happening with the
Backstreet Boys, except with AJ's torn hamstring (or ligament) which happened at the
August 22nd Afternoon Concert in Toronto, Canada...which I went too and saw...first a
note too those girls who threw the Basketball on stage....Shame on you!!!! Someone could have really
gotten hurt when you did that!!. And too anyone else who throws things on stage.. Please
do so before the concert begins, or after the concert...it is not safe to do so during
the BSB's performances. Thanks.
On another note: Last month, Howie's sister Caroline passed away from a disease
called LUPUS. I and my friends here in Canada wish too send our deepest love too
Howie and his family, because I know what it is like too have a sibling fighting
against the disease Lupus. And so, For your viewing..............
A Message From Howie D.
Regarding the recent passing of my sister, Caroline Cochran.
The outpouring of emotion and sympathy I have recieved from the fans and the
media has been overwhelming. Caroline was only 37 when she lost her battle
with the disease called Lupus. This disease effects the immune system, often
striking young people like my sister, in their prime. I would request that
instead of sending cards and gifts in the memory of my sister, a donation
could be made to the fund I have established in her name. This donation would
help towards the research of Lupus with the hope a cure could be found, and
no family would have to suffer a loss such as ours.
You can send any donations to:
Carolline Cochran- Lupus Fund at Florida Hospital
Thank you
Howie D. of the Backstreet Boys!
KEEP THE BACKSTREET PRIDE ALIVE....................Sarah Baker (October 16th 1998/5:42PM)
Brian has asked that anyone who wishes to send him flowers, cards and gifts, rather
should please send a donation to an Endowment Fund that has been set up in his name. The
donations from this fund will go towards children who have the same heart problems Brian had,
and who cannot afford the much needed surgery.
Please send Checks too:
Please make checks payable too: St. Joseph's Hospital Foundation.
Thank you.
For the next month or so, Brian will be resting at home with his family in Lexington,
while Kevin, Howie, Nick and AJ go aound doing promotional tours. They Backstreet
Boys will be picking up their Concert Tour when Brian is feeling better after his down time
around July 8th.
I would like to personally take this time right now to thank everyone out there
that supported Brian During this trialing time. I really appreciate it, and I am sure
that both Kevin's and Brian's Families appreciate it too.

I would like to hear everyone's comment on the above statement. I apologize for bitting everyones heads off
on this subject, but I am angry about it, and I felt that something had to be said. The Backstreet Boys have come
into each and every single one of our lives too bring us joy and happiness; And what do we do with it, we start nasty romors!
By dispossing these stupid rumors, we get rid of those yo-yo emotions that are caused be them, and that some fans go through.
This way we can enjoy the indespensible joys that Kevin, Brian, Howie, AJ, and Nick had originally intended for us, through
their gift of voice, and revealing just a little bit of themselves too us.
I thank everyone who felt concerned enough to take the time out to read these statements. Let's Keep The Backstreet Pride Alive! -
And forget all that other irrelevent stuff.
