In an Instagram post, featuring a snippet of the song alongside images of himself and Aaron as children, he penned: “We all have someone in our lives that no matter what they do and how bad it hurts you still love them… So I worked it out the best way I know how.”

Aaron was found in his bathtub at his California home after reportedly drowning. He was 34 years old.

“It is with great regret to confirm Aaron Carter was found unresponsive this a.m. in his home in Palmdale, CA,” representatives said at the time.

“The family has been notified and will be flying out to Los Angeles. Aaron worked very hard towards the end of his life in recovery, to be a good father and to make amends with his family.”

Following news of Aaron’s passing, Nick took to social media and wrote alongside a selection of photos of the siblings: “My heart is broken. Even though my brother and I have had a complicated relationship, my love for him has never ever faded.

“I have always held on to the hope that he would somehow, someday want to walk a healthy path and eventually find the help that he so desperately needed.”

He added: “Sometimes we want to blame someone or something for a loss, but the truth is that addiction and mental illness are the real villains here. I will miss my brother more than anyone will ever know. I love you baby brother.”

Aaron is survived by his son Prince, who he welcomed in November 2020.
