Reunited boy band Backstreet Boys kickstarted the lone European date of their comeback tour in unfortunate fashion yesterday, by running over a fan at Dusseldorf Airport.

The five-piece, Nick Carter, Aj Mcclean, Howie Dorough, Kevin Richardson and Brian Littrell, jetted into the German city ready for their gig in Cologne tonight - their first performance in Germany for five years. But the Boys' return ended in pain and a trip to the hospital for 19-year-old fan Julia Wagner - who suffered a fractured leg when she was struck by the band's bus as it fought its way through a huge crowd at the airport.

But the band did what they could to make up for the accident - Carter and Richardson visited Wagner in hospital, where she was treated, and promised to make her a Vip guest at tonight's concert. Carter said, "We are so sorry for what happened. We'll make up for it."
