The Backstreet Boys paused during their London show Sunday evening to pay tribute to Aaron Carter: 'Tonight we got a little bit of heavy hearts because we lost one of our family members yesterday.'
According to reports, the singer was found unresponsive in his bath at his home in Los Angeles.
Nick Carter is currently in the U.K. on the last leg of the Backstreet Boys’ European tour. The band is set to take the stage at the O2 arena in London on Sunday night . In a statement on Instagram, Carter posted a series of images of the brothers together – as children, teens and adults – along with a caption. “My heart has been broken today,” he wrote alongside the photographs.“Even though my brother and I have had a complicated relationship, my love for him has never ever faded. I have always held onto the hope, that he would somehow, someday want to walk a healthy path and eventually find the help that he so desperately needed,” the caption read.
Among the tens of thousands of replies, Spice Girl Emma Bunton wrote: “I’m heartbroken for you and your family. Sending so much love,” and TikTok star Rod, commented: “Love to you and your family Nick.” Following the tragic news, there was speculation in the U.K. as to whether the Backstreet Boys’ concert at the O2 arena, which has a 20,000 capacity, would go ahead as planned. On Sunday afternoon the venue confirmed via Twitter that the band was set to play. “Who’s ready to see @backstreetboys take to the stage tonight? Doors open at 6pm plus there’s a few final seats available,” the O2’s official account tweeted.
