Condition Of Backstreet Boy Littrell Unknown, Summer Tour Still On
Representatives for the Backstreet Boys are withholding comment on the status of member Brian Littrell, who was scheduled to undergo surgery this month for a congenital heart defect.

Some fans have heard that Littrell had the operation this week, but at Littrell's request, the Boys' spokespeople will not say if the surgery has taken place, or if not, when it would happen.

Rather than send cards and letters to Brian, fans are instead encouraged to make donations to an endowment fund set up in Littrell's name for the St. Joseph's Hospital Foundation. Checks can be made out to "St. Joseph's Hosrpital Foundation" c/o Brian Littrell Endowment for Pediatric Cardiology, P.O. Box 8490, Lexington, Kentucky, 40533.

The Backstreet Boys are still scheduled to start a 6 week summer tour in Charlotte, North Carolina, on July 8.
