Never heard of him but that is no age ☹️

LutherRalph1 · 05/11/2022 20:33

Very sad, but brother of a backstreet boy

Scaryhairylairymary · 05/11/2022 20:33

He's not in the backstreet boys, his brother Nick is.
It's very sad, he's had a troubled life from what I've read

RudsyFarmer · 05/11/2022 20:34

Aaron Carter is the brother of one of the Back Street Boys and that’s very sad news indeed. An extremely troubled soul.

Cantseethewindows · 05/11/2022 20:34

Nick Carter was in the BSB, Aaron Carter was his younger brother. Very sad, such a young age.

TitaniasAss · 05/11/2022 20:34

Aaron Carter is Nick Carter from the Backstreet Boys' brother. Very sad though. He seemed very troubled.

Aquamarine1029 · 05/11/2022 20:34

He was never in the Backstreet Boys. 😐

Badger1970 · 05/11/2022 20:34

Given his lifestyle, reaching 34 was an achievement.

His poor bloody kids.

ikeawardrobe · 05/11/2022 20:35

Oh goodness I’ve named the wrong brother. I am sorry. I have asked HQ to take this down.

Was only a matter of time unfortunately. Lots of drug abuse, police involvement, child neglect/CPS, domestic abuse. He was very visible on social media, especially live on Instagram and he just hasn't been sober or lucid for years and years.

Hugasauras · 05/11/2022 20:36

Not surprising given his troubles over the years. What a waste.

But yes not the Backstreet Boys one, that's Nick!

Needmorelego · 05/11/2022 20:39

@Badger1970 he didn't have any children.
Had a tough life from what I have read and various health problems.

EmilyGilmoresSass · 05/11/2022 20:39

He has been such a troubled soul. I can't say I'm overly surprised, but deeply saddened. Especially for his young son.

Yes he did, a 10 month old.

Needmorelego · 05/11/2022 20:40

@AdInfinitum12 yes apologies. I have just read that.

Needmorelego · 05/11/2022 20:40

@AdInfinitum12 yes apologies. I have just read that.

I think he lost custody last month as he entered rehab again, so I can definitely understand how people wouldn't realise he had a baby!

startfresh · 05/11/2022 20:42

Noo! This is one that hit me. I was a fan in my youth.

Also I didn't realise he was that young, very close to my age.

pastabakeonaplate · 05/11/2022 20:42

Oh I am surprised how sad this has made me.

CocoLux · 05/11/2022 20:43

He wasn't in the backstreet boys, his brother was. He seemed very very troubled for a long time.

WGACA · 05/11/2022 20:43

So sad 😞 I remember him as a child pop star.

Motorcycleemptyness · 05/11/2022 20:46

This is very sad. He was my age, and I really remember him being a ‘first crush’ for me and a lot of the girls at my primary school. That floppy blonde curtains hairstyle!

i hope he is at peace, he seems to have been a very troubled soul.

Parrotpretty · 05/11/2022 20:49

His poor twin sister, she must be devastated. Such a special bond.

His poor twin sister, she must be devastated. Such a special bond.

And there was another sister that died of an overdose some years ago....

Lampzade · 05/11/2022 20:54

He had so many issues. Sad

GoodnightGentleBoris · 05/11/2022 20:54

I find it a little distasteful how quickly posters are to start a thread on people passing that the details get lost / misinformation gets passed on.

very sad news, 34 is no age at all
