The Backstreet Boys are proud to be taking part in Pinktober, the Hard Rock Café’s annual month-long breast cancer awareness program.
However, the Boys are sad to announce that they have cancelled today’s NYC PINKTOBER Hard Rock Café signing due to member Brian Litrell having been diagnosed with the Swine Flu. The other 3 members, Nick Carter, Howie Dorough and AJ McLean have seen a doctor and are not showing any symptoms.
This unfortunate occurrence will also result in the cancelling of the group’s CBS Early Show performance tomorrow, Tuesday October 6th. BSB was scheduled to perform their new single “Straight Through My Heart.” The intimate performance at PC Richards (downtown) has also been cancelled and rescheduled for a later date.
“We were really looking forward to spending time with our closest fans and friends in NYC and take part of PINKTOBER, an unbelievable and important program” Litrell says. “I hope we can come back soon and do everything we can to help.”
The Backstreet Boys are in New York in support of their new album THIS IS US, out tomorrow, October 6th on Jive Records. The rest of the band’s promotional schedule for this week has not been determined.

The group will continue to support Pinktober by flying to Los Angeles on Thursday to meet and greet fans at The Hard Rock Café in Universal City, California at 7PM.
All fans have to do is purchase one of the following three donation packages to take part in these special events: a 17 dollar donation will get you an autographed CD and a chance to meet the guys. A 30 dollar donation will get you an autographed CD and will ensure you move to the front of the line to meet the band. A 40 dollar gift will get you the signed CD, a t-shirt and will ensure you are amongst the first in line to meet the guys.
