Angel Carter Conrad, twin sister of the late Aaron Carter, is opening up about her family’s struggles and the tragic losses they have faced in recent years. Aaron Carter passed away in 2022 after battling addiction and mental health issues, with his cause of death determined to be accidental drowning following drug use. This tragedy was one of many for the Carter family, as Aaron’s sisters Leslie and Bobbie Jean also passed away from drug-related causes in previous years. These losses highlight the generational dysfunction and chaos that Angel recalls from her childhood, shaped by the pressures of fame and changing family dynamics as money entered the picture.
Despite the hardships her family has endured, Angel is determined to find the silver lining and use their platform to help others going through similar struggles. She is releasing previously unheard music from Aaron in “The Recovery Album,” with proceeds going to The Kids Mental Health Foundation. The foundation aims to support children’s mental health and create a world where mental health is a vital part of every child’s upbringing. Angel hopes that by sharing her family’s story and Aaron’s music, she can raise awareness and provide support to those in need of help.
Through her grief and loss, Angel emphasizes the importance of finding the good in a bad situation and learning from their experiences. She recalls a time when her family was close and full of love, but that chaos and struggles soon followed with fame and fortune. Despite the challenges they faced, Angel wants to use their platform to turn things around and help others in need. The release of Aaron’s music and the benefit concert in his honor are ways for Angel to honor his memory and give back to the community.
Angel reflects on her brother’s struggles and the impact it had on her hope over the years. She recalls a time when she always had hope for Aaron’s recovery, but in his final years, that hope faded as he continued to struggle with addiction. Despite the challenges they faced as a family, Angel remains determined to raise awareness about mental health and support children’s well-being through the foundation’s work. By sharing Aaron’s music and story, she hopes to inspire others to seek help and support in times of need.
“The Recovery Album” is set to release on May 24, with a portion of the proceeds going to The Kids Mental Health Foundation to support children’s mental health initiatives. Angel’s commitment to using her family’s platform for good and raising awareness about mental health underscores the importance of seeking help and support in times of struggle. Through their story, Angel hopes to inspire hope, healing, and resilience in others who may be facing similar challenges. In honoring Aaron’s memory and sharing his music, she hopes to make a positive impact and contribute to the well-being of children’s mental health.
