Aaron Carter dies in Lancaster, Calif., authorities and family reps say
Carter, who struggled with addiction, had said he was five years sober earlier this year. He was the brother of Backstreet Boys singer Nick Carter. The singer-turned-actor-turned-rapper was known for his early 2000s hits “Aaron’s Party (Come Get It),” “I Want Candy” and “That’s How I Beat Shaq.”
He released his first solo album in Europe on Dec. 1, 1997, six days before he turned 10 years old. The album sold 1 million copies around the world, a signal of his early ascent to stardom.
Carter’s second album, released in 2000 and titled “Aaron’s Party (Come Get It),” was certified triple-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, and its title song reached 35 on the Billboard Hot 100 list. He was also known for “I Want Candy” from that album and “I’m All About You” from his 2001 album, “Oh Aaron.” His 2001 single “That’s How I Beat Shaq” included the titular NBA player in a video on a park’s blacktop court and featured preteens dancing along to the bubble gum pop hit.
He made several appearances on television, including in an episode on the first season of “Lizzie McGuire” in a Christmas-themed episode titled “Here Comes Aaron Carter.” In 2001, Carter debuted on Broadway in the cast of the musical “Seussical.”
One of five siblings, Carter co-starred in the family’s 2006 reality television show, “House of Carters.” The show followed the siblings as they moved in together and tried to work through their issues. It ended after one season of eight episodes.
In a statement Saturday, Paul said many people didn’t know how “tender-hearted” Carter was.
“He genuinely cared for others, and the love he felt for those around him was immeasurable; so much so, that we believe it’s safe to say its transcending timelines,” the statement said. “We can still feel his presence and warmth around us.”
Carter is survived by his brother, Nick, and sisters Angel Carter and Bobbie Jean Carter. He also has an infant son named Prince, the Los Angeles Times reported last month. His sister Leslie Carter died in 2012. His father, Robert Gene Carter, died in 2017.
“We are still in the process of accepting this unfortunate reality,” his fiance, Melanie Martin, said in the statement to the Associated Press. “Your thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated.”
Adam Grandmaison, host of the podcast “No Jumper,” said in a tweet that he’d heard the news of the singer’s death from a close friend. Carter had appeared on the podcast at least three times, most recently in an episode published Wednesday.
“He was a good guy despite all the demons he was battling,” Grandmaison wrote in a tweet. “I’m sad to see him go.”
In 2013, Carter declared bankruptcy, the Tampa Bay Times reported, and a representative for the musician told the paper that a majority of his $2.2 million debt was from when he was a minor and not in control of his finances.
For years, Carter has been open about his struggles with mental health and drug addiction.
He gave interviews to the talk show “The Doctors” about his dependency on prescription drugs and addiction to huffing. In a 2019 interview on the show, Carter said he put himself on a “regimen” to manage his work, cook his meals and set up his home to have a family.
“So that I can be strong,” he said of his plans in the interview. “I can say I’ve been through hell and back, and I’m back.”
In 2013, Carter was on his “After Party” tour, which he embarked on after a years-long hiatus in music to rejuvenate his career and release new songs.
Asked what it was like to perform in 2014, while he was trying to reestablish himself on the pop scene, Carter told The Washington Post: “People lose their minds. It’s just cool to show them that I’m that guy still.”

Woodside, Calif., Says Mountain Lions Don’t Stop Housing
Daniel Yost, who served on the Town Council for five years, said on Monday, “I never heard anyone express any concern about preserving mountain lion territory.” But, Mr. Yost said, there were complaints by some Council members about housing mandates.
“We’re fortunate here in Woodside. It is a wealthy community,” Mr. Yost said. “A lot of people have benefited from the California dream here,” he said. While some residents want to “find a way for others to benefit as well,” there were also those who “seem intent on sort of drawing up the drawbridge,” he added.
In all his years in Woodside, Mr. Yost said that he had never personally seen a mountain lion. But he recalled that one weekend when he was away, his neighbors said that they saw a mountain lion on the street.
Since S.B. 9 was taken up by California lawmakers last year, many local government and homeowner groups have vehemently opposed the measure, with some saying it “crushes single-family zoning.”
Sonja Trauss, a housing advocate and the executive director of Yes In My Backyard Law, said that her organization had documented about 40 cases in which towns sought to limit, block or discourage S.B. 9 housing. Many towns were passing “urgency” ordinances, she said, with little time for review by the public and elected leaders.
“The amount of anxiety this is causing, compared to the ultimate density that it requires to be permitted, is very strange,” she said. “S.B. 9 is really one of the first statewide zonings that actually goes specifically after single-family areas.”
Michael Andersen, a senior housing researcher at Sightline Institute in Oregon, said that when states pass laws to address housing shortages, many wealthy communities often respond with new ordinances, like declaring neighborhoods a historic district, or imposing zoning regulations that make it difficult for a developer to build multifamily homes.
Ninth Circuit rules against Calif. Gov. Newsom order barring private school in-person teaching
The California-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on Friday ruled against Gov. Gavin Newsom’s coronavirus mandates that barred private school children from receiving in-person teaching.
In a suit brought forward in July 2020 by the Center for American Liberty, 20 plaintiffs challenged an order by Newsom that barred in-person teaching in 32 counties – a mandate that affected 80% of California’s children.
Five of the plaintiffs argued that Newsom overstepped his authority in denying private-school parents control over their children’s education.
CALIFORNIA POLICE SERGEANT RIPS GOV. NEWSOM FOR DENYING CRIME SPIKE: HE’S LIVING IN A ‘FANTASY WORLD’
“California’s forced closure of their private schools implicates a right that has long been considered fundamental under the applicable caselaw — the right of parents to control their children’s education and to choose their children’s educational forum,” Judge Daniel Collins said Friday.
The federal appellate court remanded the case for further proceedings and said it was not “moot.”
The court did rule against 14 parents and one student who challenged a previous district court ruling and said the parental rights regarding education in private schools did not hold for public school parents.
“We hold that the district court properly rejected the substantive due process claims of those Plaintiffs who challenge California’s decision to temporarily provide public education in an almost exclusively online format,” Collins said.

The Ninth Circuit judge argued that both the U.S. Supreme Court and the California court have yet to “recognize a federal constitutional right” to have the state “affirmatively” provide education in a specific format, meaning public education could still be taught in-person or online.
Harmeet Dhillion, founder of the Center for American Liberty, said the group would continue to challenge Newsom’s order as it pertains to public schools.
