AJ,You're going to get through this! Just believe that and everything will right itself in the end. We're all praying for you alike and we know you'll pull through. Take as much time as you need to heal because that's the *ONLY* thing that matters. Everyone loves you, AJ! God Bless.

AJ,
Words can't even describe how I feel right now. My stomach hurts, I've got tears in my eyes.. I don't even know what to think. To see your boys on TRL, looking so hopeful, and seeing Nick and the look on his face, makes me happy that you have people like that behind you, to make sure you make a full recovery. How I feel? I feel sad, mad, even happy.. because you're getting the help you need. All your fans and your friends and your family are behind you. I will keep you in my prayers, and I'll pray everyday that you'll get better. Which I know you will, just admitting you have a problem means a lot. It means that you don't wanna live this way, and you wanna get help. That means so much, and I know you will overcome this, we all know. It takes a stronger man to admit there's a problem, so, with all this said, stay strong AJ. We love you.

AJ-I just wanted to let you know how important you are. The entire world is behind you on this. We are so proud of you and praying for you constantly. God doesn't ignore a single prayer, so he wont ignore the world. You and your fans have a bond nothing can come between. Not age, not fame, not distance. Not this.
With love!

My prayers are with you and the rest of the Boys, please remember that your fans are here for you and we love you. And, no matter what, you are always in our hearts.

As a fellow fan just said, I have never been prouder to say I am a Backstreet Boys fan. You all have always been the most real, down to earth singers, and this latest hurdle is even more proof. I have no doubt that this is simply a hurdle, and you AJ will pull through with flying colors.
As you have said so many times, and as Howie said today, you live for being on stage. You have millions of fans all around the world rooting for you and I know that you are a strong enough to overcome whatever problems you have.
Your brothers showed the world today just how much you all truly love each other and may you be well and happy very, very soon. Rememeber, we love you and wish you the very best.

A.J.~
We just want to let you know we are praying for you to get well. We most importantly respect your decision to postpone the tour, that must of been really hard for both you and the rest of the Boys. We also respect that you came out with this in the first place. We as well as many other people want you to know that you did do the right thing, as hard as it may seem. Most people who suffer from depression never come out with the fact that they are depressed, until the tension is to big to handle. We want you to know that we beleive in you. No matter what happens, we respect your decision to go into rehab and make YOURSELF feel better, that takes guts, especially to admit it. Get well 100%, take as long as you need to make yourself feel better, we as fans are behind you 100%. You're a strong individual, and we know you can make it through this-no matter how hard it is. Good luck to you and we're, as well as all other fans, are praying for you, we know you can do this, and we know you will make it. We can't wait to see you all perform again, because we now know you all are very strong people. Get well A.J.! We love you!!!

AJ~ I really admire you for doing what you're doing. Most people who have problems such as depression or substance abuse problems don't admitt it and it gets worse, and God knows what would happen. I grew up going through alcoholism through my father, it's a terrible thing to have to go through. I myself have depression and it is not an easy thing to go through, especially alone. You have you're family and you're extended family to help you through. I only hope this helps you and a million other people who have to deal with such a terrible thing. God Bless you Alex and you're my heart and my prayers.

I'm so scared at this moment. I have been at a point where I was at a point and depreesed. But I was able to talk to my friends and listen to BSB actually and get some what better. When I heard this annoucment I cried. I am still crying. I just want AJ to be okay. I want him to know that there are people are supporting him and we all care for him. And we are all glad that he is getting the help he needs. And to let him know that he should take all the time he needs. I hope the other four guys know that I am glad, and sure other are too, they came straight out and told all of us. I hope that you four are doing good cause this also effects you guys. Best of luck AJ, we love you.
