Backstreet Boy Infected with that Pig Virus

Posted Oct 5th 2009 6:15PM by TMZ Staff

UPDATE: Brian just released the following video, apologizing to his fans for contracting the virus. Don't stand too close to your monitor, he looks contagious....

I don't care who you are, or where you're from ... you better stay away from Backstreet Boy Brian Littrell, because he's got the Swine Flu.



The Boys' rep just announced the singer has officially contracted the virus known as H1N1, which means he's probably suffering some, if not all, of the following symptoms:

- Fever above 100.4 °F
- Cough
- Sore throat
- Headache
- Chills
- Muscle aches
- Diarrhea
- Vomiting

As of right now, the three remaining Boys -- Nick Carter, Howie Dorough and AJ McLean -- have been cleared by doctors ... but have been "prescribed Tamiflu" just in case.

11. This whole Swine Flu thing isn't anything to joke about...Sending good thoughts your way Brian! Hoping for a full recovery really soon!!
Oh yeah...CHEF KOOKY, you are ridiculous! I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that way..just thought you should know how incredibly ignorant you look by posting a recipe for pig's feet. Some people just have no class at all!
Again, get well soon Brian!!
Looking forward to the new CD at midnight tonight and can't wait for the tour!!!
