It's hectic for us always being in airplanes and airports. He got sick, and it hit him pretty hard."We go all over the world really, so I am surprised it hasn't happened earlier, to be honest. I talked to (Stockman) today, and he is doing much better."Other stars to have fallen victim to swine flu include Backstreet Boys singer Brian Littrell and Harry Potter star Rupert Grint.
