AJ McLean (born Alexander James McLean on January 9, 1978) rose to fame as a member of the boy band, the Backstreet Boys. At the peak of his career, fans swooned to his voice and crazy antics as he spiced up concerts, songs and videos. Years later, McLean and the band filed a lawsuit against manager Lou Pearlman, claiming he had made $10 million from their labor while they had received $300,000. McLean had entered in rehab due to his drinking problems in 2001 but with the help of his Backstreet brothers he is back and over with alcohol. However, he became addicted to drugs, such as crack. Kevin Richardson said that if he continued to abuse drugs, McLean would be off the team. A.J. McLean, with help from his friends and "brothers" and from rehab, came back with musical talent to spare and energy to burn after five years with the Backstreet Boys' new album, Never Gone, in 2005.
