BRIAN LITTRELL: Allowed To Fly Home

BACKSTREET
BOYS star BRIAN LITTRELL has been released from quarantine to fly back
home to Los Angeles after he was diagnosed with swine flu.
The group
was returning to the U.S. from a video shoot in Japan last week
(ends02Oct09) when Littrell began complaining of his illness.
He
later learned he had contracted the virus known as H1N1 - and was
placed on lockdown in a New York hotel as he battled the sickness.
His
bandmate Nick Carter said of his isolation, "They locked him up in the
hotel... He couldn't get food handed to him; they had to leave it at
the door (of his room) and just walk away."
Littrell, who told fans
about the virus in an online video on Monday (05Oct09), has since been
given the OK to step out in public again - and on Wednesday (07Oct09),
he flew back to L.A. to join his family, reports TMZ.com.
