Members of the Backstreet Boys are canceling numerous performances and appearances beginning this week because group member Brian Littrell was diagnosed with swine flu.

Littrell posted a YouTube video apologizing to fans for the cancellations. 

Group members are promoting the release of their latest CD titled “This Is Us.”

If you’re like me, you probably didn’t even know they were releasing new music.  They seemed to have disappeared with the other boy bands in the late 1990s/early 2000s.

Their new CD “This Is Us” is in stores today (Oct. 6).  However, they have downsized to a quartet because original member Kevin Richardson left the group in 2006.

Littrell’s YouTube apology is posted below in the video clip.
