Recently, fans have been abuzz with talk that the heart condition Littrell underwent surgery for last year has caused problems for the singer during the group's current European tour, and that he would be taking time away from the band. The rumors may have stemmed from Orlando, Florida's WPYO radio, which reported that Littrell was facing more surgery when the Boys' European tour wraps up in August. The station noted that the report was unconfirmed and urged listeners to get to the bottom of the story and call WPYO with details. Speaking through the group's publicist, management for the Backstreet Boys denied that Littrell was experiencing health problems and said that he will not be taking time off from the band. Littrell and the rest of the Boys are expected to wrap up their European tour on August 7 in Sweden before kicking off a U.S. tour in September. Comment on this item.
