Backstreet Boys' Nick Carter broke the news of his brother's death in the middle of a tour. A concert in London is scheduled for the following day. The organizer is now communicating that this should take place. Whether with or without Nick is not explained further.
A day after Aaron Carter's death, it was previously unclear whether the Backstreet Boys, which includes Aaron's brother Nick, will hold a concert in London scheduled for Sunday night. Now it has been confirmed through an official channel of the venue that the concert will take place. "Who's ready to see the @Backstreet Boys take the stage tonight?" The O2 tweeted. "Doors open at 6pm and there are still a few last spots available."
Singer Aaron Carter died yesterday at the age of 34. His agent Roger Paul had confirmed this on request, citing Carter's mother. "She called me and said her son was dead," Paul said in a phone call. The former child star was 34 years old. All other details and circumstances would be clarified and then communicated, it said.
Carter had recently struggled with mental health issues and drug and drug addiction. The younger brother of "Backstreet Boy" Nick Carter celebrated great success in the late '90s with hits like "Crush On You" and "Aaron's Party" when he was still a child. Since then he has repeatedly attempted a comeback without success. As part of a world tour, he also made a stop in Germany in 2015.
Brother Nick must have found out about Aaron's death on tour. It was not clear from the tweet whether he himself would take part in the concert in "The O2 Arena". It was also not clear whether - due to the brevity of the announcement - it might be an automated message from the event location. Since this was only a little over two hours before the start of the concert and no other cancellation of the concert has been announced, it can be assumed that the concert will take place.
