Recently diagnosed with Swine Flu, Backstreet Boys star Brian Littrell has revealed he was scared when he first heard he'd contracted the virus.
The band were forced to axe their appearances last week (the same week they released new album 'This Is Us'), and Brian admits he was "pretty freaked out," when he was diagnosed.
Littrell added to In Touch: "We had to cancel a bunch of press. It was disappointing. I had to stay in New York and was confined to my hotel room."
"They all left me and went to LA. I was like, 'Thanks guys, appreciate it!'"
Brian also issued a video message to fans when the news broke - you can watch it here.
