Backstreet Boy Blues

I am so sad right now. I just read that Kevin Richardson is leaving the band. How will I go on listening to them? He is an intricate part of the music & entertainment. I have been listening to their music since 1995. I know their backgrounds, as any loyal fan should. I have even seen him as Aladdin in Disney before he joined the group. I have watched him grow as a leader & 'older brother-type' for the members of the band. I have heard him play the piano at their concerts. I even saw him fly at their millennium tour. Total devasation! Oh Kevin, how could you?
