• Aaron Carter, the younger brother of Nick Carter from Backstreet Boys, was born in Tampa, Florida, where his parents owned and operated a retirement home. He released his first album in 1997 when he was just 9 years old. Growing up, Carter felt that he'd been pushed into the music business too early, and his parents constantly fought over the money he was earning. This eventually led to their divorce.
• At age 7, Carter started his performing career as the lead singer of a rock band called Dead End. He left the band after two years because they wanted to play alternative music and he wanted to be a pop star.
• In 2003, it was discovered that Aaron Carter was dating both Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan at the same time. This caused a public rift between Duff and Lohan. He broke up with Lohan in April the same year and resumed dating Duff. Later that year, Carter also cheated on Duff, resulting in the end of their two-year relationship.
• In September 2002, Carter released Another Earthquake, an album that features the patriotic anthem "America A.O." The record went Platinum and Carter appeared on the TV shows All That and Liberty's Kids the same year.
• In 2006, Trans Continental sued Aaron Carter for not fulfilling a record deal he'd signed with the company two years earlier. Carter's lawyer argued that the singer had a right to renege on contracts he signed as a minor, and Carter won the lawsuit.
• Aaron Carter and his four siblings starred in a show called House of Carters that ran from October to November 2006 on E!
  
  On October 21, 2006, Saturday Night Live parodied House of Carters with Andy Samberg pretending to be Aaron and Jason Sudeikis acting as his famous older brother Nick.
• On February 21, 2008, he was pulled over for speeding in Texas. Police found less than two ounces of marijuana in his car and Carter was arrested.
• In 2011, Carter's manager announced that the singer had entered rehab to treat an undisclosed addiction. Carter wrote a message to his fans saying, "The main thing in life is not to be afraid of being human." He successfully completed two months of rehab at the Betty Ford Center in California and resumed his career soon after.
• Aaron Carter was found dead in the bathtub of his California home on November 5, 2022. The coroner determined that he drowned after passing out from the effects of difluoroethane (a compressed gas found in air spray cleaners) and alprazolam (the generic form of Xanax). Carter was just 34 when he died. Various documentaries have been made exploring how stardom at a young age may have contributed to his struggles and his untimely death.
