Aaron Carter is dead. At only 34. Known to some as Nick Carter's younger brother, would his death result in the cancellation of Backstreet Boys' current tour?
The BSB has just gone back on tour after COVID-19 has put their plans on hold. It may be too soon to say, but this is certainly a tragedy, not only for Nick Carter but also for the entire band and their fans.
Aaron Carter also toured with the Backstreet Boys during the group's prime; his older brother Nick was a member of the enormously popular boy band. His passing is likely to impact the current tour.
As of this time, Nick Carter has not yet reacted to the news.
The singer-turned-rapper and actor was discovered dead at his home in Lancaster, California, on Saturday. According to various sources, Aaron's body was discovered in his bathtub. Saturday at 11 a.m., law enforcement sources told TMZ they received a 911 call reporting a male drowning in a bathtub.

On Sunday, the first of this leg's DNA World Tour concerts in the United Kingdom will take place in the capital (6 November). It will occur at The O2 venue. Peninsula Square, London SE10 0DX is the whole address.
Tuesday will also feature a performance by Backstreet Boys at Manchester's AO Arena (8 November). The concerts are the only ones taking place in the United Kingdom for this leg of the tour.
According to Nick Carter's Instagram, both the band and its fans are really thrilled for this tour.
TMZ obtained a photo of sheriffs' cars and paramedics parked outside Aaron's residence, along with warning tape surrounding the house.
Aaron rose to prominence as a pop singer in the late 1990s, releasing four studio albums beginning with his self-titled first album in 1997, when he was just nine years old.
After selling a million copies of his debut album, Aaron's second record, "Aaron's Party," sold three times as many, and he subsequently became a regular on Nickelodeon.
As his music career evolved, AC shifted to rap, and he also appeared on "Dancing With The Stars" and in the Broadway show "Seussical."
Aaron had numerous legal and substance misuse difficulties throughout the years, including a notorious appearance on "The Doctors" a few years ago in which he discussed how many pills he was taking. Additionally, he went to rehab multiple times.
AC leaves behind a son, Prince.
