Black Eyed Peas star apl.de.ap has revealed he is legally blind. The Boom Boom Pow rapper, real name Allan Pineda Lindo, Jr., appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show with his bandmates on Wednesday and confirmed reports suggesting his eyesight is really bad. He said, "I was born with nystagmus... I want to encourage other kids with disabilities... You don't have to give up your dreams just because you got a disability." The hip-hop star told the host he has to memorize dance moves for live shows and let the beat guide him onstage. He said, "Since my eyes are bad I guess my sense of awareness got stronger... We got Apl sections, we got bright arrows." And a member of the band's crew has to walk the rapper around the stage before each gig, so he can familiarize himself with the lay-out. http://tinyurl.com/6pbyloo apl.de.ap宣布他已經失明，因為患有先天性罕見的眼球震顫症， 年初已局部失明，現在已經什麼都看不到。 每次公開表演前，需要團員協助帶著他先走遍整個舞台， 除為了熟悉四周環境之外，還需牢記舞步。 看到這消息真的超驚訝！＠＠ 還好Black Eyed Peas還沒打算解散， 算是不幸中的大幸了！＞＜... http://tinyurl.com/846tknm -- 【Seizing My Days】 Britney Spears is my virtue, and Christina Aguilera is the demon I cling to. --
