Following the passing of his younger brother and fellow musician Aaron Carter, Backstreet Boys singer Nick Carter has conducted memorial services.
In a social media post, Nick, 42, said that despite their “complex relationship,” his love for Aaron, 34, had “never dimmed.”
At a concert they gave on Sunday night in London, Nick’s band sang a song in honor of the younger Carter.
On Saturday, Aaron’s body was discovered in his California home. The reason for death has not yet been made public.
The news was confirmed later that day in a statement from the late singer’s management.
According to US media, cops discovered the singer of I Want Candy’s lifeless body in the bathtub.
Aaron Carter, a former child star who rose to popularity as the Backstreet Boys’ opening act in the late 1990s, sold millions of albums.
I shall miss my brother more than anyone will ever know, wrote his brother Nick, a member of the American boy band, on the internet.
His post recognized that there had been some friction between them; ultimately, the senior Carter obtained a restraining order against the younger Carter in 2019.
Nick remarked:
“Addiction and mental disease are the actual villains here,” alluding to Aaron’s well-known troubles, which reportedly included several visits to rehab.
Kevin Richardson, another Backstreet Boys member, was seen acknowledging the news during a concert that took place on Sunday night in a video released online.
The band had “sad hearts since we lost one of our family members yesterday,” he told the fans at London’s The 02 venue.
Richardson expressed his gratitude to his supporters in the videos posted by the reviews website All That Dazzles.
The band members consoled a quiet Nick Carter before playing the song “Breathe” as a tribute to their late tourmate.
Other celebrities, including New Kids on the Block and *NSYNC, Paris Hilton, Tyler Hilton, Hilary Duff, and band members posted their tributes to the singer.
