Hey I got some info on Aaron's Canadian album...
Nick did the background vocal on the 'Please
Don't Go Girl' song.
One of the song in the album is written
by BRIAN LITTRELL and NICK CARTER!! It is titled 'Ain't That Cute'.
Backstreet Boys have yet released another
video called "Backstreet's Back Behind The Scenes". The cover are
very much alike Backstreet's Back CD.... Hmm, actually this is a November
news (Ouch!)... But hey... better late than never! OK, this vid contains
the making of Everybody and a footage of All I Have To Give,
also As Long As You Love Me behind the scenes!
BRIAN IS HAVING A HEART SURGERY!!! The surgery
is nothing too major. He's having it at the end of April. It's becuz of
all the touring and stuff that they have been doing, his heart is not as
strong as it should be. After the surgery, there'll be a 2 months recup
period..... then the guys will record a 3rd album, and then they'll go
to Western Canada.
Thanks to Mich.
There's a book about the Backstreet Boys
being released in the US... it's called "From Florida
With Love" and it's published by the Sterling/Macfadden Publishing
(if I'm correct) The price is $5.95....
I don't really know the details so please
somebody help me!
Did you know...... BSB's first award is a Smash Hits Award? Well,

MARCH
1998
Sunday, March 15th, 1998, The Backstreet Boys,
together with 'N Sync, Lyte Funkie Ones, Solid Harmonie, 95 South, Vanilla
Ice and 12 other Orlando based bands raised over $245,000 for tornado relief
efforts. The concert was held for almost 9,000 screaming people in the
parking lot of the Hard Rock Café at Universal Studios, for nearly
4 hours.
Raffle sales and a silent auction have made
up much of the donations. The grand prize for the raffle was a lunch date
with Howie!!!! $2000 was raised in the raffle alone. One of the silent
auction items was for another lunch date with Howie. By the end of the
day, the highest bid was for $5500. Just as the number was written down,
another woman grabbed the clipboard and wrote down $5501. At which point,
the lady that wrote down $5500, took the clipboard and tapped the second
lady over the head with it. Backstreet Manager Donna Wright, asked what
the problem was. Then, just to raise even more money, she decided that
they both should have lunch with Howie, and only for $5000 each. So, a
total of $12000 was raised, and Howie now has 3 good meals when he comes
home.
Don't you know that the BSB's gonna perform
at the World Music Awards 1998? Well my source said they will, and that
the World Music Awards will be on May 6th. Gotta see it! But I don't know
if the BSB would be nominated or not. We'll just have to wait.
