Nick Carter avoids Aaron Carter cause of death upset to celebrate band milestone
Nick Carter has thanked his millions of fans for supporting his 30-year career as he continues to stay silent on his brother's cause of death.
It was confirmed earlier this week that younger brother Nick Carter drowned in his bathtub after taking alprazolam, a generic version of Xanax, and inhaling compressed difluoroethane, which is a propellant used in cans of compressed air.
The autopsy report said the singer had become "incapacitated while in the bathtub due to the effects" of the drugs.
It was revealed that this resulted in him slipping underneath the bath water and drowning.
The confirmation didn't sit well with Aaron's former representative who still had unanswered questions regarding people who were said to be at his home at the time of his death.

Nick, however, has remained silent in the days that followed the findings and has instead focused his attention on celebrating his band the Backstreet Boys - who Aaron toured with at the age of nine.
Taking to Instagram, Nick shared a throwback snap of the hugely popular boy band alongside a thank you message to their fans.
He wrote: "Thank you to all our fans around the world for 30 years of memories and music. We would be nothing without you and love you. #bsb #bsb30years #bsb30years."
And his followers were quick to repay the affection in the comments section.
One user gushed: "We love you SO much, Nick!!! Thank you for EVERYTHING. You’ve changed our lives, and you’ve been there for so many of our special moments in our personal lives. Thank you for being the soundtrack to our childhood, our teen years and now our adulthood. You mean everything to us."
He has also been vocal about solo projects he is currently working on. It comes after he released an emotional single shortly after Aaron's death five months ago.
The tune was a heartfelt tribute to his younger sibling which discusses how he wishes his brother was able to overcome his demons to live a plentiful life.
The track titled Hurts to Love You saw Nick open up about how he misses his brother "with all my heart".
