So why didn’t Backstreet Boy Nick Carter attend his sister Leslie Carter’s funeral? According to Carter, nobody in his family TOLD him when the funeral was and where it was taking place.

Instead on Saturday (the same evening of the funeral), Carter gave a concert in Philadelphia AND hosted a party at a resort in Atlantic City but it wasn’t because he didn’t want to go see his sis laid to rest.

Nick told The Insider, “I wanted to be at my sister’s funeral, but my family has always had a complicated dynamic. I love my family. I want to thank everyone for all of their compassion and support that I have received during this most difficult time. There are so many emotions for me surrounding the loss of my sister. I am trying to stay healthy, positive and focused.”

It is sad to hear this. If you didn’t see the House of Carters on E! back in 2006, the instability of the family was evident. There obviously is more to what meets the eye and it is heartbreaking to hear that the family couldn’t at least get together in peace for Leslie despite their “complicated dynamic”.
