Days after Aaron Carter's death, brother Nick Carter skips Backstreet Boys interview on ‘This Morning’

When Backstreet Boys joined Alison Hammond for an interview on This Morning, fans were shocked to see Nick Carter missing from the vocal group. Turns out, Carter is in mourning following his younger brother, Aaron’s death.

Aaron Carter, Nick’s brother, died at the age of 34. He was found in his bathtub by his housekeeper at around 11 a.m. on Saturday. While the official cause of Aaron’s death is yet to be released, friends suspect it may be a substance abuse relapse.





Musician’s representative confirmed the news in a statement: ‘We are extremely saddened and shocked to confirm the passing of Aaron Carter today. At the moment his cause of death is being investigated. We ask that you give the family time and they will have more information when available. We cannot express the outpouring of love coming in'.

Alison asked the band about their DNA World Tour in a pre-recorded interview, as they spoke about their return to London and the recent release of their 10th studio album, A Very Backstreet Christmas.

He joined the group for a round of karaoke, singing along to Wham!’s 1984 hit Last Christmas, before confetti rained down on them.

When the camera transitioned back to the ITV studio, Alison shared a message of condolence for Nick. ‘That was lovely, and of course, we’re sending all our love to Nick Carter who wasn’t able to be there for family reasons, as you all know but gave the boys his blessing to go ahead with the interview,’ she said. She further reeled back to Backstreet Boys’ festive album, which is out now, calling it ‘fantastic’.
