"IT'S TRUE!" BRIAN CAN BE A MAJOR KLUTZ
THE BACKSTREET BOYS have been visiting various venues on their BLACK&BLUE tour, and there's no doibt BRIAN'S been extra careful when it comes to his wardrobe and knowing the various locations of sets, instruments and other equipment. WHY? Well, Brian admits to a few mishaps in the past. "I used to get my shirt caught on the equipemt or slip over a wire or stand too close to a pyrotechnic effect," he says. But that's not all! Brian also remembers a time when he was wearing overalls with a belt. The overalls unhooked, the belt came loose and let's just says the audience got to see more of BRIAN that the hottie had intended. Guess Brian's price of fame is Klutiness. AWW!

26 OLD BRIAN LITTRELL, OR B-ROK, as the other Boys sometimes call him, spent his early years in LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY, singing in hs local church, and other regional houses of worship, at revivals, and even weddings. Religious much? YOU BET.

Brian feels he has a lot to thank GOD for. As a young child he was very ill-and didn't even know it. "I was born with a heart murmur," he told BOP. "I have a hole in my heart and the doctors didn't know."

It wasn't until 1980, when Brian cracked his head on the sidewalk and was rushed to their boy was seriously ill. At the hospital, complications set in and Brian got a blood infection. He recounts the truama. "I had no chance of living whatsoever. The doctors were telling my mother and father to go ahead and make funeral arrangements."

But then the unexpected happened Brian surprised everyone and recovered! He still wasn't completely healed, though.

In May 1998, Brian underwent heart surgery. "I delayed surgery twice because of the tours," Brian told ROLLING STONE. "I mean, the saddest around my work schedule. It was like nobody really cared or felt that it was important, because the career was moving on." Thankfully, Brian had the surgery and pulled through just fine. Like the Backstreet Boys, Brian's back better than ever.
