But the deep fall was already announced. Group member AJ McLean had the bad boy image and he had a secret: for years he hid his alcohol and cocaine addiction from his colleagues. In 2001 the effects could no longer be hidden. During the world tour with her fourth studio album “Black & Blue”, McLean publicly confessed to being an alcoholic and using cocaine. The tour was canceled and McLean went to rehab.

He has since successfully participated in the TV show “Dancing with the Stars” and is now a caring family man.
