The Backstreet Boys allegedly broke their promise and didn't meet their fans.
The pop princes were supposed to head to the Galaxy Club in Des Plaines Ill. around 12 a.m. last night
(Oct. 7).
A manager at Galaxy said the Backstreet Boys had a signed agreement with Galaxy to appear at the Club
on Oct. 7th. But the boys never came.
Staff at Galaxy said they'd gotten many phone calls from excited fans about their chance to meet the
boys face to face.
The club management made plans to increase security and were charging a $20.00 cover to get into the
club.
All the excitement and preparation was apparently for nothing.
"Their production people were here," said the manager. "They kept saying, 'They're coming, they're
coming' but all of a sudden they told us they (the Backstreet Boys) weren't coming after all."
"We had a lot of pissed off fans here last night," she said.
The nightclub is filing a lawsuit against the band [Backstreet.net note: some say it's not against the band
but against the Georgia based promotion company who booked them ] for breaking their contract.
The Backstreet's management company, The Firm, wouldn't comment on the issue.
