AARON CARTER: DEATH OF A POP STAR
The death certificate for Aaron Carter has revealed that the late singer’s body was cremated just days after he died.
Andy Symonds, the co-author of Carter’s controversial unfinished memoir — the publication of which has since been put on hold — wrote in the book that Carter had told him he struggled with taking Xanax and huffing canned air like Dust Off. According to Symonds, he wasn’t doing either in 2019 as they worked on the book about the highs and lows of his life.
Aaron Carter's memoir release date has been pushed back amid controversy from his friends and family.
Aaron Carter’s memoir delayed ‘out of respect’ for his family
The “I Want Candy” singer became famous at a very young age as he sought to stand out in his talented family, which includes his older brother Nick, a member of the Backstreet Boys.
Carter opened for the Backstreet Boys in Germany at the age of 8. His “Aaron’s Party” album was certified Triple Platinum when he was 12.
He allegedly got into drugs at an early age as well. In his book, originally planned for publication on Tuesday, Nov. 15, he revealed he started smoking weed when he was around 11. He claimed he spent $30,000 on ecstasy one summer when he was 15.
Carter said he dabbled in heroin, but quit it after getting sick. He also got into Xanax and said he took some from another patient while at the Betty Ford Center in Palm Desert — a trip he claimed Nick paid for because he was taking “more Xanax at that point than ever before.”
It’s unclear what Carter’s relationship with drugs was when he died. Symonds said he last spoke with Carter in April 2021. Symonds said they met three times in person in 2019 and 2020 for the project.
In the book, Carter describes some eerie bathtub moments.
He recalled falling asleep in a tub as a young child star in need of a break.
“I remember locking myself in the bathroom of one of our hotel rooms and falling asleep in the bathtub because I needed more sleep,” he wrote. “My mom broke down the door, afraid I was drowning in there.”
He said shortly after his 18th birthday, he booked a trip to Amsterdam, where he overdid it with mushrooms.
“I was all alone tripping, talking to the bathtub, watching the curtains, and having all these emotional highs and lows, seeing everything from rainbows to lightning,” he wrote. “I always overdid everything.”
In the memoir, Carter claimed he was always suicidal, but never planned to actually do it.
“I was always suicidal, especially through those years. I never attempted suicide, but never had anyone to talk to about it,” he wrote. “But I knew I loved life too much to actually do it.”
Since his death, those close to him have offered tributes. He leaves behind a son, Prince, who turns a year old on Nov. 22. Prince’s mom is Carter’s on-again, off-again fiancée, Melanie Martin.

In September 2019, Nick Carter filed a restraining order against Aaron after he made a series of disturbing comments about his older brother’s wife and child.
Nick said in a statement, "In light of Aaron’s increasingly alarming behavior and his recent confessions that he harbors thoughts and intentions of killing my pregnant wife and unborn child, we were left with no choice but to take every measure possible to protect ourselves and our family.”
However, Aaron denied his brother’s claims and said he hadn’t spoken to him in years.

Aaron Carter's rep claims the singer NEVER told an entertainment reporter Michael Jackson gave him cocaine and alcohol when he was 15 years old ... and says the reporter COMPLETELY FABRICATED the story.
The controversy stems from an article that ran in OK! Magazine in Australia, written by international journalist Daphne Barak. In the article, Carter was quoted as saying, "Yes, [MJ] gave me wine. I mean, I could have refused, but I was 15. As for drugs? He gave me cocaine."
But Carter's rep tells TMZ, "Nothing was said that was reported" ... and directed us toward a YouTube video of the interview with Barak ... which seems to back up Aaron's side of the story.
UPDATE: A rep for Barak tells TMZ, "Aaron Carter told Daphne Barak in his lengthy interview in Spain, that Michael Jackson gave him alcohol and cocaine while he was 15. He also said that Michael invited him to sleep in his room, and when Aaron woke up at 5:00 AM, he found Michael on his bed."
