Aaron Charles Carter (December 7, 1987 – November 5, 2022)[2] was an American singer, rapper, and actor. He came to fame as a teen pop singer in the late 1990s, establishing himself as a star among preteen and teenage audiences during the first years of the 21st century, with his four studio albums. He began performing at age seven, after the formation of his brother Nick's group the Backstreet Boys, and released his self-titled debut album in 1997 at age nine, selling a million copies worldwide. His second album Aaron's Party (Come Get It) (2000) sold three million copies in the United States, and he began making guest appearances on Nickelodeon and touring with the Backstreet Boys shortly after the record's release. His next album, Oh Aaron, also went platinum, and in 2002 he released what would be his last studio album for over 15 years, Another Earthquake!, followed by his 2003 Most Requested Hits collection. He appeared on Dancing with the Stars, and in the Broadway musical Seussical and the off-Broadway musical The Fantasticks, and made several one-off performances.  In 2014, he released a single featuring rapper Pat SoLo, "Ooh Wee". He released the single "Fool's Gold" in 2016, and an EP titled Love in 2017. His fifth studio album, also titled Love, was released in 2018. A sixth album, Blacklisted, was released two days after his death. In his second appearance on the medical talk show The Doctors in 2019, Carter disclosed that he had been diagnosed with both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. He had a son who was born November 22, 2021, with then-fiancée Melanie Martin. On November 5, 2022, he died at his home in Lancaster, California, at age 34. His body was found in his bathtub by a housekeeper. He was cremated, and his ashes were left in the care of his twin sister Angel. The cause of death was not immediately publicized, but the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner later ruled that Carter's death was accidental: drowning after inhaling difluoroethane and taking alprazolam. His ashes were interred at Forest Lawn Memorial Park (Hollywood Hills). ​From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
