An official statement on Littrell's condition states that the vocalist "came through the operation with flying colors" and is recuperating at an undisclosed location.

As we previously reported (see "Condition of Backstreet Boy Littrell Unknown..."), Littrell has asked that fans wanting to send cards and gifts instead make donations to the Brian Littrell Endowment Fund for Pediatric Cardiology, which has been established in the Backstreet Boy's name to help aid children with cardiac problems.
