Nick Carter isn’t quick to forget his late brother, Aaron Carter. The singer, notable for being part of the infamous boy-bad Backstreet Boys, has put his love for his brother into writing, in a new song. While details about the track remain scarce, the icon has teased the upcoming project on social media. The song would reportedly spotlight the wild relationship between the Carter brothers, Nick and Aaron.
According to TMZ, sources confirmed that the 42-year-old began penning the song shortly after his brother’s death in November. The track, expectedly an emotional one, would see the Backstreet Boys member express his unconditional love for his brother, despite their tumultuous relationship. Nick would also sing of his heartbreak over his brother’s death, especially as the younger Carter never found the peace he so much craved during his lifetime.
The music video for the song would feature even more emotional content, including rare footage of Nick and Aaron Carter together as youngsters.
The New Song Would Put A Cap On Nick Carter and Aaron’s Feud For Good
Fans of Nick Carter and his late brother Aaron are not alien to the strained relationship between the Carter brothers. One of their major rifts played out in 2019, when the 42-year-old got a restraining order against his brother for allegedly threatening to kill his pregnant wife, Lauren Kitt, and their unborn baby. Lauren, who had a miscarriage a year prior, eventually lived through the pregnancy without hitch, welcoming a daughter.
The back and forth between Nick Carter and his brother continued until Aaron Carter passed away in November 2022. News sources reported he was found dead at home in his bathtub, under suspicious circumstances.
While an official cause of death is not readily available, family and relatives suspect an accidental drug overdose given his history of substance abuse and underlying mental health struggles. His twin sister, Angel, and older brother, Nick have since found ways to honor him by reaching out to others with similar struggles. The pair recently started a fundraiser to raise money for a children’s mental health charity in Aaron’s honor.
Nick Carter’s new song is one in a line of remarkable means through which the Carter family has paid tribute to the lost icon, who left behind one son, Prince Lyric Carter, to carry on his legacy.
