"Stagehand sues Backstreet Boys
MANASSAS, Va. (AP) _ A stagehand filed a $3 million lawsuit against the pop group Backstreet Boys, contending he was
injured by a 50-pound cannon that fell on his head. Michael Barrett, 22, filed the lawsuit Tuesday in Prince William County
Circuit Court seeking damages from the five-member group for injuries and emotional distress. Gary Exner, another stagehand,
was also named as a defendant. Exner could not be reached for comment and band spokeswoman Sonya Muckle did not
return a phone message or respond to a faxed list of questions. Barrett, of Alexandria, was working backstage at Nissan
Pavilion after a concert July 16. A line suspending the cannon _ a stage prop that fires confetti_ was untied after the show,
``causing it to descend to the stage below at great speed,'' according to the lawsuit. Backstreet Boys released its first hit single,
``Quit Playing Games (With My Heart),'' in 1997. "

* Amanda, AJ's girlfriend and singer in the group Innosense, is currentely on tour in Germany, opening up for DJ Bobo, a German singer. Some years ago, the BSB started their career and huge success in Germany also opening up for DJ Bobo. Because Amanda is on tour and AJ is recording the BSB's third album, they haven't seen each other for 2.5 months now. They will be reunited again November 27, where a.o. the Backstreet Boys and Innosense will perform at the Hand in Hand Charity Concert. In an interview Amanda told the reporter that at first she was very much afraid that after AJ told the world about her, she would be "attacked" by mad BSB fans. But the opposite happened she said. "the fans were all very nice and gave me presents and letters to give to AJ".
