McLean continues treatment for alcoholism, depression and anxiety, the Backstreet Boys are on course to resume their tour as planned on August 24 in Milwaukee, the group's spokesperson said. On August 4, McLean left the rehabilitation center where he had been staying since early July, and moved to a "transitional care" facility in Los Angeles, according to the Backstreet Boys' publicists. When BSB first announced McLean's problems, they said they would resume their tour August 7. On July 31, however, the group said that A.J. would need two extra weeks of treatment, pushing the resumption of the tour back to August 24 (see "A.J. Needs More Time, Backstreet Boys Delay Return"). "We truly want to thank our fans for standing with us through this," Nick Carter said in a press release at the time. "And we know that it will be worth the wait for them to see the five of us back onstage." Backstreet Boys' current tour itinerary, according to the group's publicity firm: 8/24 - Milwaukee, WI @ Bradley Center 8/25 - Cincinnati, OH @ Firstar Center 8/26 - Maryland Heights, MO @ Riverport Amphitheatre 8/27 - Kansas City, MO @ Kemper Arena 8/29 - Houston, TX @ Compaq Center 8/30 - San Antonio, TX @ Alamodome 8/31 - Dallas, TX @ American Airlines Arena 9/4 - Uniondale, NY @ Nassau Coliseum 9/6 - East Rutherford, NJ @ Continental Airlines Arena 9/7 - East Rutherford, NJ @ Continental Airlines Arena 9/8 - Boston, MA @ FleetCenter 9/9 - Boston, MA @ FleetCenter 9/10 - Boston, MA @ FleetCenter 9/12 - Toronto, ON @ Air Canada Center 9/13 - Toronto, ON @ Air Canada Center 9/14 - Toronto, ON @ Air Canada Center 9/15 - Ottawa, ON @ Corel Centre 9/17 - Montreal, QC @ Molson Center 9/18 - Buffalo, NY @ HSBC Arena 9/19 - Cleveland, OH @ Gund Arena 9/20 - Auburn Hills, MI @ Palace of Auburn Hills 9/22 - Tinley Park, IL @ Tweeter Center 9/23 - Minneapolis, MN @ Target Center 9/26 - Calgary, AB @ Pengrowth Saddledome 9/27 - Calgary, AB @ Pengrowth Saddledome 9/28 - Edmonton, AB @ Skyreach Centre 10/1 - Vancouver, BC @ General Motors Place 10/2 - Portland, OR @ Rose Garden Arena 10/4 - Nampa, ID @ The Idaho Center 10/5 - Salt Lake City, UT @ Delta Center 10/7 - Albuquerque, NM @ Journal Pavilion 10/10 - Denver, CO @ Pepsi Center 10/12 - Phoenix, AZ @ Cricket Pavilion 10/13 - Devore, CA @ G.H.
