Aaron Carter, a pop artist who enjoyed success in the early 2000s and was the younger brother of a Backstreet Boy, died on Saturday, according to a statement from one of his representatives.
He was 34.
Roger Paul’s statement did not include the cause of death. Detectives are looking into an allegation of a “weird death” that happened on Saturday at Carter’s home in Lancaster, California, according to a representative for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office.
Earlier this year, Carter, who struggled with addiction, declared that he had been sober for five years. He was a Backstreet Boys member and Nick Carter’s brother. The rapper-turned-singer became well-known thanks to the early 2000s hits “Aaron’s Party (Come Get It),” “I Want Candy,” and “That’s How I Beat Shaq.”
He released his first solo album in Europe on December 1, 1997, just six days before he turned ten. The fact that one million copies of the song were sold internationally shows his early climb to stardom.
