A.J. McLean of the Backstreet Boys was recently admitted to a rehab. The 23 year-old will undergo a 30-day treatment program for alcoholism, depression, and anxiety.
The remaining dates for The Backstreet Boys’ Black & Blue tour have been postponed while A.J. receives treatment.
The other Backstreet Boys Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell and Kevin Richardson said in a statement issued on Monday (7-9-01): "It's been suggested that we not be so forthcoming about this situation, as many artists in the industry have in the past, but we feel compelled as a group to be honest with our fans and not let them down. AJ is our friend and our brother and we whole-heartedly support him during this difficult time. Fortunately, AJ has realized he can't solve his problems by himself."
