The purpose of this page is for Backstreet Boys fans and friends to show their love, support, and respect for the Boys during AJ's stay in rehabilitation for depression, anxiety, and alcoholism. V@n3$$@ & B!@nC@'$ Personal Message to @j: Dear AJ, As two of the BIGGEST BaCkStReEt BoYs fans in the world, we've got to say that throughout this past week, you and the rest of BSB have truly given your fans something to be proud of. Although you have postponed your concerts in Toronto and some other cities and we are sad that we will not see any of you guys later this month (15 days to be exact), it is worth the wait (to see you guys 65 days LATER) because you, AJ, are setting an excellent example and getting the help you need. We totally support you 100% for doing this. We know you will be better and that we will hopefully see you all in September! We love Nick, Brian, Kevin, Howie, and You with all our hearts and would like to thank all 5 of you for being honest and true to us- your fans and friends- by telling us what really happened. We respect you AJ for realizing yourself that you have a problem and trying to do something to help yourself first. We believe what Brian said to be true- the person needs to believe in their hearts that they have to be better before others can help them. We also have totally respect for Nick, Brian, Kevin, and Howie for showing their true emotions to us their fans and accepting our support strongly. To your fans, you guys are larger than life and the emotions- like the look on Kevin's face and the tears in Nick's eyes- showed us that they ARE human. It probably took a lot of courage to come out in public and tell the truth to the whole world and that is another reason we respect you guys. All this made it seem so real- seeing YOU GUYS break down... it just hit home..it made this so real... and in a way scary for us having been fans of BSB since the beginning and having met you all in February at Muchmusic. February 6, 2001 was the happiest days of our lives! You guys were all so sweet and down to earth. Knowing that we met you guys and you guys gave us hugs and kisses (Nick, I love you!- Bianca) just made us more emotional about this. Well, we just want to say once again that we love you AJ. We love you NICK. We love you Brian. We love you Kevin. We love you Howie. We're praying for you AJ, that you get through this, and stay healthy, safe, and happy always. We know it must be rough, but ALL your fans are behind you 100% always! To Nick,Brian, Kevin, and Howie- We are keeping all of you guys in our prayers too, that you'll stay strong and remember that something good always comes out of what may seem bad. You guys are handling this so well and it shows that BSB isn't just about fame, pop, and fortune- its about a true love and respect for everyone involved in music- the fans and the artists. We love you all. God Bless. See you in September- Toronto loves you!

Dear Bianca Vanessa, Jill Chrisman (jillc2001@juno.com) says: Hello, I just wanted to let someone know that we are all pulling for AJ and the boys. This can (and is) a difficult time in their lives. My son (age 12) was just diagnosed with depression, I lost my mother in May to cancer, and I am watching my neice and nephews while their mom is going thru another divorce. I can somewhat understand what they are all feeling! HANG IN THERE!! My little sister in law (never been married) recently found out how much my daughter and neice LOVE BSB, and encouraged them to write a letter of encouragment to AJ. Then she surprised us all by buying tickets to their concert in Las Vegas (which got moved from August to October) The girls are extatic! They are making beaded braclets and hope to give them to the boys...If you can, please give this to AJ and the boys, or at least tell them that we care! Thanks, Jill * Note to Jill: Thanks so much for your letter; it makes us feel better to know so many people support the Boys at this time. Hopefully, your daughter and niece are able to meet the Boys and give them the bracelets. We've met them before and its an experience we will never forget- they were the sweetest and kindest guys ever! Thanks again, Bianca and Vanessa
