Just a day after his brother’s death, Nick Carter performs in the British capital with the Backsrteet Boys. There are emotional scenes at the concert.
The Backstreet Boys paid tribute to Aaron Carter, the recently deceased brother of band member Nick Carter, during their performance in London on Sunday night.
As the industry journal “Billboard” and the music magazine “NME” reported, the band dedicated a song to the ex-child star. During a speech by Backstreet Boys member Kevin Richardson, Nick Carter is said to have cried, according to “NME”. According to “Billboard”, a large photo of the deceased was also shown. Videos shared by both media outlets show Nick Carter crying.
Aaron Carter was found dead at his home in California on Saturday. He was 34 years old. Nick Carter’s younger brother rose to fame in the late ’90s with hits like “Crush On You” and “Aaron’s Party.” He was still a child then. Since then, comeback attempts have repeatedly failed.
Ahead of the London show, Nick Carter addressed fans: “My heart is broken today. Although my brother and I had a complicated relationship, my love for him never waned,” he wrote on Instagram.
