Nick Carter Opens Up About Tortured Relationship With Younger Brother Aaron Carter
Backstreet Boys’ Nick Carter publicly reacted to the death of his little brother, Aaron Carter, 34, after the former child star was pronounced dead on the scene dead in a bathtub on Saturday.
“My heart is broken,” Carter wrote on Twitter, commemorating the singer-turned-rapper. “Even though my brother and I have had a complicated relationship, my love for him has never ever faded. 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 are the real villains here,” Carter continued on Sunday. “I will miss my brother more than anyone will ever know. I love you baby brother.”
