Backstreet Boys are back on tour this summer...but first A.J. McLean needs to take care of some personal issues. The 33-year-old singer confirmed to People
that he has checked himself into a rehab clinic, but didn't state a reason."With 2011 being a busy year for Backstreet, I want to be healthy and perform and sing for people at my very best and happiest. None of this will affect our current tour plans and I look forward to seeing everyone really soon! Thank you for all of your support and respecting my family and friends privacy during this time," he said.
McClean, who proposed to girlfriend Rochelle Deanna Karidis a year ago in Las Vegas, has been in rehab two times before, in 2001 and 2002, for depression and alcohol abuse. He sent out a few chipper tweets on Sunday:
"Its gonna be a great year! I love u all and wish me luck! I start my sober journey tomm!"
If his time in rehab goes smoothly, McLean will be ready for the Backstreet Boys' highly anticipated comeback this summer, when they are due to tour with New Kids On The Block.
