Benefit concert for lupus

Date: Jun 21, 2002 Source: Orlando Sentinel Submitted By: Gina Cates In an age when boy-band singers want to go to space, Howie Dorough keeps his feet planted firmly on the ground. The most dignified Backstreet Boy (though he still doesn't quite counterbalance erratic Nick Carter) is hosting the annual Lupus 2002 benefit concert at 8 p.m. Saturday at Hard Rock Live at Universal's CityWalk in Orlando. The $51 ticket covers a demographically diverse show by REO Speedwagon, David Clayton Thomas and Blood, Sweat & Tears, Survivor, Pollyanna, the Tyrones and 3LW. But the real attraction is the opportunity to raise money for lupus research and education. Last year's event yielded around $200,000. The issue is personal for REO Speedwagon singer Kevin Cronin, whose 25-year-old stepson is afflicted with the disease. "This is the first I'd even heard of this event, but when I heard from Howie, it definitely struck a chord," Cronin says. "One of the things I can bring to the party is the idea that it's not just a disease that hits women in their child-bearing years. I know that to be changing." Comment on this item.
