--> --> Backstreet Boys confirm Portland concert date Popular boy band The Backstreet Boys announced Monday that they will postpone a series of concert dates ending with their Aug. 7 performance in Vancouver, B.C., due to the poor health of member A.J. McLean. McLean is currently undergoing a 30-day treatment for clinical depression, which has lead to anxiety attacks and the excessive consumption of alcohol. A key cause of the depression is believed to be the recent death of McLean's grandmother.
