The Backstreet Boys singer loses his third brother and sees his troubled family fall apart once and for all

The life of Nickolas Gene Carter, Nick of the band Backstreet Boys, is a succession of successes, controversies and tragedies. Another bad chapter happens.

The sites TMZ and People announced the death of his sister, Bobbie Jean Carter, at the age of 41. The cause was not disclosed. She leaves behind an eight-year-old daughter, Bella.

In June, the makeup artist was arrested on charges of stealing stationery from a store and carrying more than the permitted amount of addictive controlled substances in her bag.

This is the third brother Nick Carter has lost in 11 years. The first to die was Leslie, 25, from an overdose in 2012.

In November last year, fellow singer Aaron Carter, 34, accidentally drowned in the bathtub at his home. The autopsy revealed the use of potentially dangerous drugs.

The Carter family has a complicated history. The parents, Jane and Robert (died 2017), often attacked each other and abused alcohol. Last May the matriarch was arrested after attacking her current husband in a loud argument on television.

Nick and his brothers grew up in a home full of yelling, threats and physical violence. The singer himself faces problems: he is the target of three sex crime charges. He denies harming the women who reported him.

The teen idol, who will turn 44 at the end of January, has been in a relationship since 2008 with influencer Lauren Kitt, with whom he has three children (Odin, Saoirse and Pearl).

After coming to Brazil earlier this year for Backstreet Boys shows, Nick will return to the country alone for a performance from his “Who I Am” tour.

On January 17th he will take the stage at Audio, a venue with a capacity of 3,000 people in the west area of ​​Sao Paulo.
