Brian Littrell Spills Secrets Behind The Backstreet Boys' Singles

We had Brian Littrell from the Backstreet Boys in studio all morning long! He spills on stuff no one knows about some of BSB's greatest hits...like the fact that ONE Backstreet Boy isn't even ON one of their biggest hits!

I still remember the day over 20 years ago, when Brian had heart surgery. I woke up early to hear the update on the radio. I cried and prayed for him. It was on my mind all day at school. And I rushed home from school to hear that he was out of surgery and doing great. The days without internet.

[@roter13]

He just refuses to age

[@fridz66]

The boys are vampires. They don’t age. I still feel bad about his voice though, hope he recovers 100%. He’s got the best voice amongst the 5.

[@cuppiecakess]

His voice is aging double-time.

Actually his vocals are fine, he said it was the muscles around the vocal cords that strangled him

When did he lose his voice???

​@@theronhayden4671 since 2011 he has 2 medical condition, dysphonia and dystonia

[@nardiamcphee5239]

1. I didn’t know that but however AJ sings the oh baby baby... part so that must I’ve been added when nicks vocals were added. 2. Yes I figured it wasnt Brian. Shame he never mentioned about the missed bit in the dance at the end. Some fans thought he was sick at that time and couldn’t get back up it was the last cut didn’t bother to refilm it so they added it. 3. Yes like in another comment there is an alternate version with ‘No Goodbyes’ it’s on You Tube. Still trying to figure out what the songs about 🤔 4. The Spanish version was even featured in the re-release single from 1999 and I believe in their re-release copy of their first album too that was released in Australia and other parts titled ‘The Start of the Phenomenon... Backstreet Boys’ I’ve been a fan of them since 1995 so I know a lot of facts about them. And another thing you may not know Nick is not even in the song ‘The Perfect Fan’ that Brian wrote for his mother on the album ‘Millennium’ Nick was sick that day to record it so they left his vocals off it

[@cheryltejano9129]

i think Nick has an issue with his mother so he doesn't have a part in that song
