Aaron's estranged brother, Backstreet Boy singer Nick Carter, broke his silence following the tragic news of his death.
"My heart has been broken today," Nick wrote on Instagram Sunday. "Even though my brother and I have had a complicated relationship, my love for him has never ever faded," he captioned a series of childhood photos of the duo.
"I have always held onto the hope, that he would somehow, someday want to walk a healthy path and eventually find the help that he so desperately needed," he continued. "Sometimes we want to blame someone or something for a loss. But the truth is that addiction and mental illness is the real villain here."
Over the weekend, Nick broke down in tears during a tribute to his late brother during the Backstreet Boys tour, leaving his bandmates to console him.
Aaron left behind an 11-month-old son, Prince, whom he shares with his ex-girlfriend, Melanie Martin.
