Pop singer Aaron Carter died on Saturday, according to a statement that was made public by one of his representatives. He had hits in the early 2000s and was Backstreet Boy's younger brother.
He was 34.
Roger Paul's statement made no mention of the cause of death. A "suspicious death" was reported at Carter's Lancaster, California, residence on Saturday, according to a Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office spokesperson.
Carter, who was addicted, stated that he had been clean for five years at the beginning of this year. Nick Carter, a member of the Backstreet Boys, was his brother. At the beginning of the 2000s, his songs "Aaron’s Party (Come Get It)," "I Want Candy," and "That's How I Beat Shag" made him famous.
On December 1, 1997, six days before turning ten, he released his first solo album in Europe. His early rise to stardom is demonstrated by the one million copies sold worldwide for the album.
Carter's second album, "Aaron's Party (Come Get It), was certified triple-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. The album's title track reached position 35 on the Billboard Hot 100. Additionally, he was well-known for the songs "I Want Candy" and "I'm All About You" from his 2001 album, "Oh Aaron." Preteens danced to the bubble gum pop tune in the music video for his 2001 single "That's How I Beat Shag," which featured the aforementioned NBA player on a park's blacktop court.
He appeared in a few television shows as a guest star, including the Christmas-themed "Here Comes Aaron Carter" episode of the first season of "Lizzie McGuire." In 2001, as a member of the cast of the musical "Classical," Carter made his Broadway debut.
Co-starring in the 2006 family reality show "House of Carters" was Carter, one of five siblings." The show followed the siblings as they tried to work out their differences after moving into the same apartment. It came to an end after an eight-episode season.
In a statement released on Saturday, Paul stated that numerous individuals were unaware of Carter's "tender heart."
Angel and Bobbie Jean, Carter's sisters, as well as Nick, Carter's brother, are still alive. He also has a newborn son named Prince, as reported by the Los Angeles Times last month. His sister Leslie Carter passed away in 2012. His father, Robert Gene Carter, passed away in 2017.
In a statement to the AP, Melanie Martin, his fiancée, stated, "We are still in the process of accepting this unfortunate reality." Your thoughts and prayers mean a lot to us.
The singer's death had been announced via Twitter to Adam Grandmaison, host of the "No Jumper" podcast. The podcast had featured Carter at least three times, the most recent of which occurred in an episode on Wednesday.
"He was a good guy despite all the demons he was battling," Grandmaison wrote in a tweet." I'm sorry to see him go.
The majority of Carter's $2.2 million debt stems from when he was a minor and had no control over his finances, according to a representative for the musician, as reported by the Tampa Bay Times.
In interviews with "The Doctors," he discussed his drug dependence and huffing addiction." In a 2019 interview with the show, Carter stated that he established a "regimen" to manage his work, prepare his home for family life, and cook for himself.
He said that his plans were to "be strong." I can say that I have returned after surviving hell in the interview.
In order to relaunch his career and release new songs, Carter embarked on his "After Party" tour in 2013 after a lengthy hiatus.
When asked about performing in 2014, when he was trying to get back on the pop scene, Carter told The Washington Post: To demonstrate to them that I remain the cool guy, people begin to lose their way.
