I spent a lot of yesterday in bed upset over this. Never felt like this over a celebrity death before, it’s just I relate Nick and Aaron to my school days, happy times in my life and it’s weird to think he’s not around anymore. Also the fact that I’ve watched his downward spiral since he started doing Instagram lives around 2019. I’ve followed his story closely and it’s just hard to accept he’s gone.

I can’t say I’m shocked, knew it was coming, he has been on a downwards spiral for a long time and had years of drug abuse. It’s sad that him and nick could never be close again like they once were. Sadly I think Aaron blamed nick for a lot of his problems, when he should have been blaming his mother and father, but as they were happy to allow him to do drugs and do it with him, and nick didn’t, nick was made the bad guy.
Leslie carter their sister also died of a prescription drug overdose and also had a young child.

I also heard both Aaron and his girlfriend Melanie lost custody of there baby prince in the last few months. Seems there was a lot of stuff going on behind closed doors and I’m beating money on it being drug related, and how very celebrity of him dying in the bath tub.

It's a real shame for someone so young to pass away. Sadly, like many, it didn't come as a surprise.
This is how I’m feeling. I’m shocked.. but I’m not, I felt it was coming but it’s still so sad to read. I’m seeing so many saying bsb better not cancel their London and Manchester shows 😩 nick needs to go home and be with his family. Shows can easily be rescheduled. He’ll be hurting and I bet full of so much regret the next few days/weeks/months.

So Much To Say and Blame It On Me the songs from the new record, are pretty good.
Here he performed an acoustic version of the song, which was actually great. he sounded great.


Friends, I was straight up sad that I didn't eat for 7 days. I throw up when I eat anything. didn't expect teen crush to have such power, either. lol (still sad)
his death taught me two things.
1. I must spend my time with people I like. (As ridiculous as it sounds with AC being a celebrity, I think it still makes sense.) I spent a long time in a horrible relationship last year and I now regret it so much that even watching AC live and getting to know him a little better made more sense! And I spent a lot of time on people I didn't even like
2. I will make sure to show fondness in time from now on! I have never left a comment for AC on social media, No thanks were said, no fondness expressed, no encouragement offered. It makes me regret it, what a simple thing to do, but I haven't done it.

I watched all Lina’s stories and felt very emotional. I’m 29 next month and remember watching him growing up, I haven’t followed him much recently but knew he was struggling and it was so sad.

Lina’s stories showing him sober and in a great place are heartbreaking, but such a strong reminder that the person you saw in the past few years were not the true Aaron. It’s so easy for people to write off addicts and people struggling, forgetting they are actually a human and instead simply making a mockery and joke of them. Comparing his recent lives to those videos are harrowing because it shows what could have been, and how an amazing life is now lost forever. So much more needs to be done to help them, but it is incredibly difficult when the person is so deep in their addiction that it seems impossible for them to return to who they really are.

I think Nick nailed it when he said addiction and mental illness are the real enemy. As a former addict I can say that it’s the most miserable and lonely existence. You are completely consumed by your own stuff (real or imagined). These people didn’t try understanding his struggles or give him proper support

His ex gf Lina has posted a wonderful tribute to him in her stories - from a time when he was sober. It’s very moving and makes this whole thing just so sad. Not just his death but the entire few years leading up to it.
Celebrity deaths don't usually affect me but his has, maybe because he was my first crush and my bedroom was covered in him! I've just watched linas story and I've cried 😢 I've always followed him and genuinely felt so sorry for him, I don't think he was a bad person just messed up due to addiction and other things 💔

I had to come away for abit coz i watched nick last night on a few videos and it broke me, it brought it all back with my brother and how I wished I’d had just gotten in contact 😩 I live with it everyday so it’s breaking me seeing nick this way. He tried and fought so hard to save his brother. I too was an 80s baby and grew up with nick and Aaron. They were my world. It hit me harder than I thought. His decline the last few months, he just turned into someone no one recognised, and those around him enabled his behaviour. Check the star.. Melanie.. his mama. They all knew. I saw a video of Aaron from 2 weeks ago singing shape of my heart.. saying his brother was an amazing singer, and he loved him and had his back. He wanted to reconcile and was calling out to him. Families are complicated.
TMZ released an article saying that computer duster was found in his bathroom and bedroom along with prescription pills and that he’d been unalive for a while and Zelda was with him 😭😭😭 that dog adored him. I’m conflicted about how I’m feeling about tomorrow, but it’s what Nick is doing to get through this so I’m sure the whole of the arena will be there with love and support
Edit - also Lina Valentinas stories are absolutely heart wrenching… he was happy, healthy and had a different vibe and sparkle in his eyes when he was with her! He looked so so happy! He just unfortunately couldn’t be saved.

Sometimes you can’t help someone who is in self destruct mode. They are on a path and nothing anyone says or does will make them see any differently. What a shame he couldn’t get better. I have an anxiety disorder and totally understand not wanting to live with it anymore.

I don’t think Aaron had one trust worthy person around him. I’m sure he wasn’t great to live next to (who is these days… I have some horrendous neighbours) but in that video the neighbours are clearly antagonising him over the wall. Calling names about being “washed up” etc. I’ve had neighbours from hell and unfortunately all you can do is ignore them and try and get on with your life. I wouldn’t start verbal altercations with them and calling insults. Someone is even filming it. What a mess of a life. He holds a huge responsibility for himself but there’s clearly a lot of other people around him making it even worse 💔

Anyone from the U.K. remember Crazy Little Party Girl? Was listening to it before, probably the most nostalgic song for me. Reminds me of good times in the late 90s in primary school and having a little crush on Aaron.

Sadly Bobbie jeans passing doesn’t surprise me, that mother of theirs has a lot to answer for.

So that’s now

Bob (father)
Ginger (step daughter and bobs first child)
Leslie
Aaron
And now bj

That have all passed away, may they all rest in peace x
