Basically… yes. Last week, it was reported that the sister of singers Nick Carter and Aaron Carter, Leslie Carter, 25, died of an overdose of anti-depressants. It was all around horrid and tragic and, according to some, inevitable because her family was one big exploitation machine and she never had a chance. She passed and was survived by a 10-month-old daughter and a husband. The funeral was this weekend. As in Sunday 5. The same date Nick Carter was seven-hours away in concert. Well, this is awkward. Us Weekly claims the former Backstreet Boy blew off the funeral to instead honour a ‘previously booked engagement at the iHeart Performance Studio in Bala Cynwyd, PA’ the same night; his third pre-booked performance since the death on February 1. However, notes TMZ.com, it’s more complicated than that since the 32-year-old claimed he would have attended the Freay Funeral Home Mayville, N.Y. and the Chautauqua County Cemetery where his sister was laid to rest… except no one told him about it. He told TMZ: ‘I wanted to be at my sister’s funeral, but my family has always had a complicated dynamic. There are so many emotions for me surrounding the loss of my sister. I am trying to stay healthy, positive, and focused.’ Sources tell TMZ: Nick feels the family went out of their way to make sure he wasn’t included.
