Heartbreak
Brian Littrell has been through a few health problems. One of the earlier ones we all know about is his heart condition. From birth, Littrell had a hole in his heart and was often rushed to the hospital as a toddler. In 1998, he had corrective open heart surgery which was successful. Later he began a foundation which assists children with similar defects. Show ‘Em What You’re Made Of features Brian without his shirt on and you can see the scar from his surgery.
Habit
A.J. Mclean overcame his substance abuse issues, however he was known to be a heavy smoker. Eventually he gave it up because it started to ruin his voice. Smokers often suffer from sore throats so McLean took extra precautions. He gave up the habit and still continues to ensure he doesn’t touch a single cigarette, no matter how tempting.
