Backstreet Boys Member Nick Carter Pays Tribute to 'Baby Brother' Aaron Carter
Backstreet Boys member Nick Carter is mourning the loss of his brother Aaron Carter.
On Sunday, Nick Carter posted a tribute to Aaron Carter on his Instagram and wrote about the hope he had for him.
“My heart is broken. 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 is the real villain here,” he wrote in the caption of various photos of him and Aaron Carter when they were younger.
He concluded his post writing, “I will miss my brother more than anyone will ever know. I love you Chizz. Now you can finally have the peace you could never find here on earth….I love you baby brother.”
