Millennium revolves around "Frank Black" and his family ...
Advantages: One of the best Backstreet Boys album ever Disadvantages: Not all the lyrics are in the booklet!
, but the doctors didn't know about it! When Brian was just 5 years old he cracked his head on the pavement and was rushed to hospital! Complications set in and Brian got a blood infection! Brian said "I had no chance of living whatsoever. The doctors were telling my mother and father to go ahead and make the funeral arrangements." Brian surprised everyone and recovered! In 1998 Brian was to have heart surgery and relieved fans by coming through his surgery just fine!
* Their success *
Backstreet Boys' debut single 'We've Got It Goin' On' was released in August 1995 and it flopped in America, but became a hit in Germany so the Backstreet Boys tried their luck in Europe!
