Backstreet Boys' Brian Littrell Diagnosed With Swine Flu


The Backstreet Boys' Brian Littrell has been diagnosed with swine flu.

The other three members -- Nick Carter, Howie Dorough and AJ McLean -- have seen a doctor and are not showing any symptoms. As a preventative measure, the band's doctor has prescribed Tamiflu to the group and their touring party, who had just returned to the states from Tokyo.

Due to Littrell's illness, the Backstreet Boys cancelled their scheduled Monday appearance at the Pinktober Hard Rock Cafe signing in New York City. They will also cancel their performance on CBS' Early Show Tuesday morning. (The rest of their schedule this week has not yet been determined.)

The news comes one day before the release of their new album, This Is Us, which goes on sale Tuesday.
