The Backstreet Boys are back with a new album, This is Us, out tomorrow -- but J-14 just learned through through reps that BSB member Brian Litrell has been diagnosed with the swine flu.
The other members of the band -- Nick Carter, AJ McLean, and Howie Dorough -- have been to the doctor and are not showing any symptoms. However, all three are taking Tamiflu as a preventative measure.
Because of this, BSB will be canceling their appearance on the CBS Early Show and their New York City performance at the P.C. Richard & Son theater tomorrow.
Brian is not the first celeb to get diagnosed with the swine flu. Earlier this year, Harry Potter star Rupert Grint also had the swine flu. After taking a few days off of working on the film, he was back on his feet and working when doctors said he was no longer contagious.
Send your get well wishes to Brian below.
