Backstreet Boys star Nick Carter’s noticeable weight loss is causing concern among fans. The 45-year-old’s recent Instagram selfie has sparked speculation about his health, with some even comparing his thinner appearance to that of his late brother, Aaron Carter. With Nick and the Backstreet Boys preparing for their Las Vegas residency, longtime fans are excited and looking for all information regarding the seasoned boy banders. Nick is good about keeping his social media followers up to date. However, his recent post is reportedly setting off red flags.
Nick Carter’s recent Instagram photo shows the singer wearing a gray cap and a maroon Ford tee, enjoying the Nevada sun. However, what should’ve been a simple update on rehearsals quickly turned into a frenzy of concern. Social media users were quick to point out his weight loss, with many saying he appeared alarmingly thin. Some fans speculated about possible health issues and or the use of weight loss drugs.
Despite the concern, a Page Six source denied any rumors and speculation denied any rumors of weight-loss drugs, clarifying that Nick Carter has been training hard for months. According to the insider, the Backstreet Boys’ residency show at the Sphere will be physically demanding, and Carter has been consistently working out during the lengthy rehearsal process. His transformation, they say, didn’t happen overnight.
Nick Carter’s Resemblance to Aaron Carter Worries Fans
Back Street Boys fans know that it has been a difficult few years for Nick Carter. Despite Nick’s busy and grueling schedule, fans claim it is impossible to ignore the pain and heartbreak he’s been carrying.
The Carter family has endured the heartbreaking loss of three siblings, Leslie, Aaron, and Bobbie Jean Carter. All of whom passed away between 2012 and 2023. In late 2023, Carter admitted he was still grieving the loss of Aaron and expressed deep regret over not reconciling before his brother’s untimely death.
Just months later, he addressed Bobbie Jean’s devastating passing with a somber post. Nick admitted that it could take a lifetime to process the loss his family has suffered. The grief, coupled with the demands of his career, has many wondering whether Carter is pushing himself too hard, too soon.
What has shaken fans is how much Nick Carter appears to resemble Aaron Carter in his final days. The thin frame, hollowed features, and emotional backdrop are eerily similar.
“Nick is giving me a bad vibe. He looks so much like his brother Aaron just before his death. I hope he is okay,” one concerned fan writes. “He looks very unhealthy, hope he is okay!” another added, as a third chimed in, “I’m a [bit] nervous.”
Though Nick has not responded directly to fan concerns, the eerie resemblance is hard to ignore. It is also fueling speculation about his mental and physical health.
Nick Carter may be preparing for a major comeback with the Backstreet Boys’ Las Vegas residency, but his appearance has people worried he’s doing it at the cost of his health. Between the pressure of performing and the emotional toll of multiple family tragedies, concern continues to grow over Nick Carter’s well-being.
The Backstreet Boys also consists of Brian Littrell, AJ McLean, Kevin Richardson, and Howie Dorough. The group will begin their “Into The Millennium” residency at the Sphere starting July 11. They are set to perform 21 concerts before wrapping their final show in late August.
