I Used To Listen To This Song On A Fucking Loop For Days On End Rip To The Creator Of Our National Anthem

In memory of Aaron Carter who passed away today. Very tragic unexpected loss, he was recently promoting his new music. Here is my favorite song of his “All About You” I played on repeat as a kid.

The Carter family is the purest representation of what fame does to kids when they don't have the support they need.

Nick tried so fucking hard to help his siblings despite all of his own issues, but their parents only cared about the money. I genuinely believe that if Nick hadn't had the members of BSB backing him up that he would have met the same fate as his brother and sister many years ago.

It just isn't fair.

RIP, Aaron. You deserved better.

The fact that a news outlet (TMZ) decided that their need to get a scoop justified posting partial pictures of a young man's body just to demonstrate that it was his tattoos is the grossest fucking thing and I hope every single person who signed off on it regrets it every day for the rest of their lives.

Liam was dehumanised to a commodity from the age of 16 and the fact that even in death he's being treated like this is disgusting. I'm so sad and I'm so mad and I hope his family sues (if that's what they want to do).

There is no reason to share 'news' like this. It isn't journalism, it isn't in the public's interest. It's grubby and foul and to not even put a warning of the article's contents in the headline is fucking cruel.

Fuck TMZ.

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 ❤️

This is the Aaron Carter I will always remember. I will celebrate and focus on his success and nothing else.

you know the post that's like: one day I'll be 45 at a party and ill hear a one direction song and ill be dancing my heart out because I never learned to love anything as much as I love one direction?......... yeah.......thinking of that right now

tmz 'obtaining' a photograph of liam payne's body literally MINUTES after his death and then posting said photograph on their site is one of the foulest things i've ever witnessed

“It was really the most accidental thing to happen in lockdown. It wasn’t like, ‘It’s three o’clock, it’s time to write a song!’ It was just messing around on a piano and singing badly and being overheard and then thinking, you know, what if we tried to get to the end of it together? Sending it to Justin with the idea of doing a duet and getting voice notes back of him singing over the top and stuff was surreal. It was a perk of lockdown. It was fun to do it together, and I was proud of it. It was nice getting such a positive reception. [On if there's a version of “exile” with him singing on it] Jesus, there’s probably a voice note somewhere that should be burned.”
