What is it about beautiful Backstreet Boy Brian Littrell that makes us all love him so much? We know that he makes a great friend just by observing how he interacts with the other BSBs. (He's known as the peacemaker of the group.) We know that he has a great voice that sounds like heaven on earth. We know he loves his fans, and he truly appreciates all the success that has come his way. And we know that he's the sort of person that can't tell a lie and that his honesty is one of his most honorable characteristics.
Quit Playing Games With His Heart!
It's because of his honest nature that Brian recently made public that he will need surgery on his heart. He was born with a heart condition, and doctors have kept a vigilant eye over his state of being, but the time has come to repair his heart. His condition is called Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD). That means that he has a hole in his heart that needs to be sewed up. The energetic shows that the BSBs put on for their fans have been putting undue stress on Brian's heart and in order for him to keep giving the best performance possible, Brian (as of press time) is scheduled to have surgery in May. Doctors predict that he should be in and out of he hospital within a week, and that he should be feelin' fine within six to eight weeks. Now don't worry--since Brian is young and healthy and in good shape, he should heal pretty quickly, but he is being instructed by doctors to avoid too much excitement and have as much peace and quiet as possible while he is recuperating.
Show Him You Care!
Brian has said that he would do anything for someone that he really cares about. Now, in Brian's time of need, you can return the sentiment. Brian could certainly use a lot of love and support during his recovery, and the best way to give it to him is to send him your good wishes c/o The Backstreet Boys, P.O. Box 618203, Orlando FL 32861-8203. Before you know it, Brian will be singing at the top of his lungs, and in peak performance, "Everybody, Backstreet's Back!"
