Sad news to report: Leslie Carter, the sister of Nick Carter (whom I interviewed for this week's Live!), passed away Tuesday in New York. Leslie, an aspiring singer and mother, was 25. No cause of death was given.
Despite Leslie's death, Nick's tour will go on as planned, including his show at Rams Head Live on Friday. Here's the official statement from Nick's publicist:
Nick Carter is thankful to the many people and the fans who have shared their wishes and prayers during this tragic time. We want to let the fans know the tour will go on as promised. "Performing is cathartic to me and I am dedicating the rest of my tour to my sister since she loved to watch me perform." We ask the press to respect Nick's privacy during his time of grief.
Tickets for the show are available here.
