Aaron Carter Dies At 34
Oh, Aaron.
He was the most troubled and messed-up person I've ever met in my life, but he was also one of the most charismatic. His Jukebox Tour, which is LOST to the Internet, was the most well-produced, danced, and arranged concert I've ever seen.
If he had different parents, things might not have ended this way, but I think that oversimplifies the demons that man had.
Everyone deserves a support system, and ALL child stars should have non-familial advocates in their corners to be that support system when their parents can't or, in the Carters' case, won't. I want to think Aaron was among the last generation of truly exploited child stars, but...
Anyway, I will never again, in my life, feel an adrenaline rush like realizing that I was seeing Aaron Carter's sandwich roll past on the craft services cart. That was the best night of my life.
If you're looking for song recommendations to mourn: "It's Just You," "To All the Girls," and "Hey You" are my favorites.
And rapping the entirety of "Aaron's Party" is my party trick forever.
:(
I just know it’s gonna really hit me the moment one of the boys says something and then I’m gonna lose it.
Rest in peace Aaron Charles Carter (December 7, 1987 – November 5, 2022)
TIL Aaron Carter used to live in Lancaster CA, hope he finds the peace he was missing on the other side.

Aaron Carter died today.
I know most of you probably don’t know or don’t remember who he is. But I never forgot.
He was 34 years old. He left behind a young son, who now has to grow up without their dad. He was a complicated individual and you could tell in recent years that he was struggling.
They say that childhood fame is more often a curse than a blessing. And Aaron didn’t have the support he needed from the people who were supposed to love him the most.
He was the first love of my life. I had his posters all over my walls, he was one of my first concerts, and his CD’s were on a constant loop in my CD player. I watched everything there was to watch with him in it over and over and over. All the girls were obsessed with boy bands but I just loved this guy.
I am truly heartbroken. He deserved so much better.
Rest In Peace Aaron, I’m so sorry you couldn’t find it here on earth ❤️
Mental health is important. I wasn’t a huge fan but I was aware of him and his problems. But sometimes it’s not the drugs, it’s not the ‘demons’. It’s the lack of emotional support, inability to fully express yourself and seek help. Mental health keeps declining. It always seemed to me that someone hurt him deeply in the past and he didn’t have the capacity to truly deal with that. It was so obvious that he struggled all the time, trying to fix it through music, drugs and other questionable, dare I say, attention-seeking ventures that simply did not help.
Take care of yourself everyone 🕊
i used to listen to this song on a fucking loop for days on end rip to the creator of our national anthem
