I read the same, BSB cancelled their south Africa tour cuz Hoke Dorough is ill and Howie needs to spend more time with his father.
I'm so sorry for the fans but I'm sure they'll understand that Howie needs to be with his father in this hard time.
My prayers are with the Dorough family.

Too bad for all the South African fans.
But it seems that they cancelled both shows at the SuperBowl.
On computicket.com it`s confirmed.
Brian is sceduled for a Healthy Heart Club day on June 14. A big Bowling-event in America.

Saturday, Jun 14 2008 20H00 (This performance has been cancelled)
Sunday, Jun 15 2008 20H00 (This performance has been cancelled)

Howie`s dad Hoke, is very ill.
Howie wants to spend quality time with his dad, now he still can.

Neither the Fanclub or the backstreetboys.com site are talking about the shows bein` cancelled. The fanclub is not allowed to say anything about it.

So keep a close eye on the official site to check out the news!

Love Claudia
