(AP) - A stagehand filed a $3 million lawsuit against the pop group Backstreet Boys, contending he was injured by a 50-pound cannon that fell on his head. Michael Barrett, 22, filed the lawsuit Tuesday in Prince William County Circuit Court seeking damages from the five-member group for injuries and emotional distress. Gary Exner, another stagehand, was also named as a defendant. Exner could not be reached for comment and band spokeswoman Sonya Muckle did not return a phone message or respond to a faxed list of questions. Barrett, of Alexandria, was working backstage at Nissan Pavilion after a concert July 16. A line suspending the cannon - a stage prop that fires confetti - was untied after the show, ``causing it to descend to the stage below at great speed,'' according to the lawsuit. Backstreet Boys released its first hit single, ``Quit Playing Games (With My Heart),'' in 1997. Comment on this item.
