"BACKSTREET BOYS RUN OVER A FAN
Reunited boy band Backstreet Boys got the lone European date of their comeback tour underway in unfortunate fashion Monday, by running over a fan at Dusseldorf Airport.
The five-piece band -- Nick Carter, AJ McClean, Howie Dorough, Kevin Richardson and Brian Littrell -- jetted into the German city ready for their Tuesday gig in Cologne, their first performance in Germany for five years.
But the Boys' return ended in pain and a trip to the hospital for 19-year-old fan Julia Wagner, who suffered a fractured leg when she was struck by the band's bus as it fought its way through a huge crowd at the airport.
But the band did what they could to make up for the accident -- Carter and Richardson visited Wagner in the hospital, where she was treated, and promised to make her a VIP guest at the concert.
Carter said, "We are so sorry for what happened. We'll make up for it." "
