RIP Aaron Carter

Say it isn't so!

As a 90s teen I've literally watched him grow up. I wouldn't say I was a fan, as I'm firmly planted on the Nsync side of that battle. However, I did enjoy a few of his early songs.

Early reports are saying he drowned in the ~~bathtub~~ pool.

I'm not familiar with the young man, but gee, so young to pass away. Condolences to his family and fans. RIP

I only know him from some acting roles, like the two episode arc he did on 7th Heaven. I have not read anything regarding the manner of death, but he was definitely too young to go. Sounds like he had many issues with addiction, and that is a very hard road to travel. I feel bad that his son won’t get to know his dad other than through the internet. Just sad.

I was surprised how long it took to hit the DIS since Disney Channel was his big break.

I know of him, but since he was for a much younger demographic it was only through seeing him in magazines and entertainment shows.

Very sad. Never want to hear of a troubled young person. I wish him peace. So sorry for his family. Too young.

He was never my genre (I was a late 70's, 80's kid), and can't even think of a song of his that I even remotely liked. But with that said, it truly is a shame to see a life end so prematurely. I also can't say I was surprised by this. He has been fighting addictions, depression, and mental issues for so long now. Hopefully, his tragic end may help someone else to overcome these same problems. RIP Aaron.

So sad to hear. I was not surprised but still very sad. He was very talented. Rest in Peace.

Yes, after seeing the news I came here expecting to find a thread already started.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that remembers seeing his music videos on the Disney Channel.

My kids are about his age and were big Disney Channel viewers when he was on Lizzie McGuire.
