"We have some unbelievably sad, and unexpected, news to share with you all. Our dear friend, Johnny "Q" Elgani, passed away early this morning in Orlando. We are deeply saddened by this news, and are still unable to process that this is even happening.
Q is a huge part of what the Backstreet Boys are today, and has been a part of our team for a very long time. We would not be where we are now if he wasn't in our lives. He has kept us safe as we traveled the world, which is something that we are eternally grateful for. We couldn't imagine where we would be without him.
Most importantly though, Q was just an incredible person. He was always a pleasure to be around, and had some sort of magical ability to turn the most stressful situations into something fun. He treated every single person he met with respect and care, and we're so thankful for his friendship.
He would definitely want you all to know how much he loved and cared about all of you BSB fans too. What can we say…he had as much fun hanging out with you all at our soundcheck parties and meet & greets as we do! We know that a lot of you got to know Q over the years as well, and were able to befriend the amazing guy that we know and love.
Many of you all may know Angela, Q's wonderful and loving wife. We can't even imagine what she's going through right now, especially considering that she's currently 5 months pregnant. All of us want to do something really special to help her through this incredibly tough time in her life, so please keep checking BackstreetBoys.com, because we're going to be putting something together soon for her and Q.
We're already seeing an overwhelming amount of love and support from all of our incredible fans, and we want you to know that Q's family and friends really appreciate all of the kind words. If you have any fun Q photos or memories, please tweet them with #HeyItsQ. We want to put them all together to share them with his loved ones :)
Thanks again for all of your support and love during a tough time like this. We love you.
- AJ, Brian, Howie, Kevin, and Nick"
