Brian Littrell posted a YouTube message apologizing for missing the NYC Pinktober Hard Rock Cafe singing with fans. He has been diagnosed with the swine flu. He says the rest of Backstreet Boys are taking Tamiful in the hopes it will help keep them from getting sick.
The Backstreet Boys are hoping there is still some life in their boy band. They have a new album coming out in October. Billboard says the first single from the album called "Inconsolable" can be sampled on the Backstreet Boys' website.
The countdown has begun on the Backstreet Boys' Web site for their Oct. 30 Jive album, which is as-yet-untitled. Group member Nick Carter tells Billboard.com the Boys are still tweaking things in the studio and will cut vocals for a couple more tracks today (Aug. 10).
"We are just putting the finishing touches on it and it sounds incredible," Carter says. The album, whose first single, "Inconsolable," goes to top 40 radio Aug. 27 but can be sampled now on BackstreetBoys.com, will include 11 or 12 songs, Carter speculates.
"We didn't needed to cut that many because I think that we're back into our rhythm of what the group is about," he says. "I felt like 'Never Gone,' the last album we did [in 2005], was basically an experimental album in the sense that we'd been away for four years. We were just trying to find out niche again and I think now we're back in that pocket."
The Backstreet Boys' website also include a giant digital clock counting down to the release of their new album on October 30th. The website says that album will be called Unbreakable.
