Aaron Carter’s pop star brother Nick breaks down in tears on stage after sibling’s death
NICK Carter broke down in tears on stage at London’s O2 tonight – just hours after the death of his younger brother Aaron.
Aaron died aged just 34 at his home in California on Saturday after being found in his bath tub.
Less than 24 hours later his older brother Nick took to the stage with his band the Backstreet Boys.
However the emotion soon became too much for him as he was unable to sing his verse on their hit Show Me The Meaning of Being Lonely.
His band mates were seen giving him hugs and support and Nick was seen with tears in his eyes.
“Tonight we’ve got heavy hearts,” Kevin Richardson told fans. “Because we lost one of our family members yesterday.”
He continued: “We just wanted to find a moment in our show to recongise him.
“He’s apart of our family and we thank you guys for all your love and support.”

Earlier in the show the band sang Incomplete, and the lyrics clearly were too much for Nick as he cried on the final note.
A rep for Aaron confirmed his death and released the statement: “It is with great regret to confirm Aaron Carter was found unresponsive this AM in his home in Palmdale, CA.
“The family has been notified and will be flying out to Los Angeles. Aaron worked very hard towards the end of his life in recovery, to be a good father and to make amends with his family.”
The statement concluded: “Unfortunately without proper recovery facilities available in our country and open borders, this is why we have an epidemic.”
Nick paid tribute to his brother in a heart breaking post on social media as he broke his silence following Aaron’s death.
