Backstreet Boys' recent gesture towards an ailing fan has won netizens' hearts, with many praising the band for being 'kind-hearted'. The group was performing at Noblesville, Indiana’s Ruoff Music Center as part of their DNA World Tour, during which an audience member had a medical emergency. According to The Indianapolis Star, the incident happened towards the end of the gig, when Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, AJ McLean, Brian Littrell and Kevin Richardson were crooning their track That's The Way I Like It

The outlet reported that a woman stationed near the front of the audience had 'some sort of emergency', which led the Backstreet Boys to pause their show. McLean asked for the music and dancing to immediately stop, following which, he made sure that the woman was okay.
