The Backstreet Boys' sensitive singer, Brian Littrell, is brushing up on the
American National Anthem.
Brian plans to sing the national anthem at the Kentucky Thoroughblades'
hockey game against the Louisville Panthers on Jan. 22, Launch.com reports.
The Thoroughblades will donate a percentage of the ticket proceeds to
Brian's Healthy Heart Club. The club gives support to children preparing for and
recovering from surgery.
The Healthy Heart Club is especially important to Brian since he was
hospitalized for treatment for an infection of his heart muscle in 1980.
Brian was born with a Ventricular Septal Defect, which is a small hole
between the ventricles of the heart.
The Backstreet member underwent surgery again in 1998 to repair the
defect.
Hockey and Brian fans can buy tickets for the hockey game at the Rupp
Arena Box Office and Ticketmaster outlets.
Donations to Brian's charity can be made through a check or money order
payable to the Saint Joseph Hospital Foundation at: P.O. Box 8490, Lexington, KY
40533.
