The singer who was dumped from the Pro Bowl halftime show is angering a publication dedicated to people who suffer from schizophrenia.

JC Chasez 'Schizophrenic' album coverJ.C. Chasez is causing a stir with the publisher of the Schizophrenic Digest over the cover of his debut album "Schizophrenic." On the cover, Chasez -- a member of the pop group *NSYNC -- is pictured in a straight jacket.

Bill MacPhee, himself a schizophrenia sufferer, said the cover does nothing to help eliminate the stigma of mental illness.

Calls to Chasez's representatives were not returned.

The NFL pulled Chasez from the halftime entertainment lineup of the Pro Bowl in Hawaii in February as a cautious move sparked by the breast-baring incident involving his fellow *NSYNC singer Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson.

The NFL instead asked Chasez to sing the national anthem, but since the singer said he was asked to switch song choices and change lyrics before being dumped from the halftime show, he refused.
