Backstreet Boys Nick Carter admits he had a ‘complicated relationship’ with baby brother Aaron in heartbreaking tribute
Aaron’s death was confirmed yesterday by a representative, with the singer passing away aged just 34 after being found deceased in his home in California
Backstreet Boys Nick Carter has broken his silence following the tragic passing of his little brother Aaron Carter yesterday evening.
Aaron’s death was confirmed yesterday by a representative, with the singer passing away aged just 34. He was found deceased in his home in Los Angeles.
Nick, who was on tour in Germany with the Backstreet Boys when news of his brother’s death was released, has shared a poignant and honest tribute to his “baby brother.”
He touches on their “complicated” relationship, and makes a plea for understanding for people who struggle with addiction and mental health issues.
An official cause of death is currently unknown in this case.
“My heart is broken. Even though my brother and I have had a complicated relationship, my love for him has never ever faded,” he wrote.
“I have always held on to the hope that he would somehow, someday want to walk a healthy path and eventually find the help that he so desperately needed. Sometimes we want to blame someone or something for a loss, but the truth is that addiction and mental illness is the real villain here.”
“I will miss my brother more than anyone will ever know.”
“I love you Chizz. Now you can finally have the peace you could never find here on earth….I love you baby brother.”
The raw words accompanied a photo of Nick and Aaron as children, playing outdoors in the sunshine.
Other photos in the carousel showed them as they grew up, both finding fame and celebrity as teenagers via the music industry in the late 90s and early 2000s.
Aaron rose to fame as a child star with hits like I Want Candy and That’s How I Beat Shaq .
He had a triple-platinum status album in the year 2000 with Aaron’s Party (Come Get It).
He also has a number of acting credentials.
Aaron openly struggled with substance abuse and mental health, and in 2017 attended rehab after he was arrested.
In September 2022, he entered rehab for the fifth time, according to ABC News.
There has been an outpouring of messages on social media paying tribute to the late star.
