Backstreet Boy Battles Demons in the Lion's Den

Posted Apr 17th 2009 10:45AM by TMZ Staff

For a guy who claims he's serious about staying sober -- why does recovering alcoholic A.J. McLean of the Backstreet Boys keep trekking back into the dangerously tempting Hollywood club scene!?!

Don't get us wrong, we're rooting for him to stay clean -- but for a guy who fell off the wagon just a couple of months ago (see: Key Club incident) -- maybe the bar he was at last night isn't the best place to kick it nowadays.

Remember the old saying -- when you play with fire, you get drunk.

I'm Only a Little Bit Backstreet

Posted Feb 14th 2009 6:10AM by TMZ Staff

Backstreet Boy Brian Littrell was at LAX yesterday leaving for parts unknown, when the singer suddenly disassociated himself from his Backstreet Boozers -- a subsection of the band famous for their struggles with alcohol and their beautiful, beautiful ballads.

Brian's comments came as a response to our story that the band's contract demands backstage alcohol before each performance. Sad news, especially coming off the release of videos showing both Nick and A.J. completely trashed.

Hopefully the singer will be able to help out his fellow boys -- he seems like a great guy. Also, he has the voice of an honest-to-god angel, which always helps the healing.
