By now we’ve all realized of the tragic demise of former little one star Aaron Carter, and as new particulars come up, our hearts solely ache extra for the large loss.
The I Need Sweet singer was discovered lifeless in his Lancaster, California house final week and we nonetheless don’t have solutions but as to what occurred. We beforehand reported on the last moments main as much as his demise and how different stars are reacting to it — however now Carter’s greatest good friend and supervisor is telling his standpoint.
In an interview with The Solar on Sunday, Massive Umbrella Administration‘s Taylor Helgeson opened up in regards to the final time he heard from his good friend — and listening to about Aaron’s optimism in regards to the future is world-shattering:
“He was so excited, he was extraordinarily optimistic. It was a number of years since we launched [his album] Love, and he felt able to do one other one.”
So unhappy… Particularly now with how everybody is seemingly going after fast cash grabs and attempting to launch content material as quickly as attainable following the star’s passing.

Taylor continued on to disclose the Aaron’s Celebration singer had large plans for his new album Love 2:
“I bought these unimaginable producers from Denmark to fly out to supply his album and it was the primary time shortly that I’ve seen him so excited. He had extra [to give], and he didn’t stop.”
He mentioned the day of the tragic incident, the musician was sharing much more pleasure in regards to the new music no matter his struggles:
“The final evening, he texted me and he mentioned, ‘Bro, these songs are superb.’ And I mentioned, ‘I do know, I can’t wait till you report them.’ And he mentioned, ‘I promise you, that is our greatest work but.’ He was actually optimistic and he felt like he was coping with loads of issues, however he felt like he might deal with it. This album was going to be him proudly owning all the pieces. He was going to take accountability, and he felt that was going to be the easiest way to do it.”
It’s gut-wrenching he by no means bought to see these works come to life…
The expertise supervisor went on to disclose the final textual content dialog he had with the 34-year-old earlier than he died:
[Aaron said] ‘Checking in!’
[And I replied] ‘Hey, how are you doing?’
‘I’m simply headed again to the home. I used to be in L.A. All good although. Issues are trying up.’
‘I do know it.’
‘Holy s**t! The brand new album, what the f**okay? That is positively a Grammy!’
‘Yeah, and also you deserve it.’
‘Big! Our greatest work but.’
Tragically, that was the final time Taylor would ever hear from his good friend:
“And that was it. It was 6.32 pm. We don’t know what occurred. We all know that he referred to as me. I used to be on a aircraft, so he referred to as my good friend, his good friend as effectively, and he requested to come back to the home to report some music, to begin monitoring these vocals, and from what I heard that was round 9:30 pm. However he by no means made it to the home.”
Simply tear-jerking…
Helgeson’s instinct knew one thing wasn’t fairly proper, although, when the seventh Heaven alum began lacking his personal exhibits:
“Aaron was an enormous Queen fan, and he lived by that saying, ‘The Present Should Go On.’ And he wouldn’t miss a present for something if he might assist it. In the previous few weeks, he missed some issues, and that was so uncharacteristic of him, and I used to be upset.”
He mentioned the pair had been at odds the previous few weeks of the star’s life resulting from movies of him huffing surfacing on-line, and the expertise agent used the “silent therapy” as a wake-up name like he’d completed prior to now — however sadly this time it didn’t work out:
“It’s so onerous for me to elucidate it. He was so sophisticated and hard-headed, and I used to be too. If I didn’t reply the cellphone for 2 days I might get thirty calls and he’d ask ‘What’s incorrect? What’s incorrect? What can I do?’ Not many associates do this. We’d discuss a number of occasions a day, and I felt like that if I didn’t reply to him [then] he would perceive how severe I used to be about him coping with these items. It simply felt like, if I saved responding and I saved carrying on, that you just maintain getting a go on your self. So the final couple of days, after that dialog, specifically, it was the primary time we’d talked in like 4 days as a result of I used to be so upset.”
The Massive Umbrella Administration agent recalled urging Aaron to get assist to no avail:
“That’s the final time we went backwards and forwards, however he texted me a number of occasions after that, and I left it as a result of I used to be upset, and I used to be scared for him, and I simply wished him to really feel that it was actual, ? As a lot because it sucks to confess, we had been … I wouldn’t say we had been combating, however I might say that I used to be at odds with him the final couple of days and weeks.”
Taylor mentioned his good friend didn’t take him significantly and though he mentioned he was “clear” he would partake in different medicine behind closed doorways. He mentioned Carter would repeatedly inform him — and everybody else — the movies “weren’t actual”. Nobody appeared to have the ability to get via to him. The I’m All About You singer reassured him that he was okay regularly:
“I instructed him that I used to be scared for him and he texted me and instructed me, ‘Don’t be scared, I’m all the time going to be right here. Don’t fear about me.’”
‘I’m all the time going to be right here.’
So, so heartbreaking.
The expertise supervisor mentioned he did all the pieces he might — however the habit was simply too overbearing for his good friend:
“I do know sufficient to know that you could’t cease an addict. You may assist attempt to present them what is going on and you’ll attempt to shepherd them, however you possibly can’t drive anyone to do something. That doesn’t imply that I don’t backtrack in my head and typically. I imply, I don’t know what individuals anticipated of us. To tie him down? I’d be mendacity if I didn’t say that, at possibly at this level, I want we might of – however that’s not actual life. Aaron was a grown man and he took management of his life in the way in which he selected, and it doesn’t matter what we wished, we couldn’t drive something.”
Heglson refused to invest on any reason behind demise however stays Carter wasn’t suicidal. An enormous turning level within the singer’s psychological well being was his lack of custody and rocky relationship, although, as a result of “all he ever wished” was a child and a spouse:
“The shedding custody half … that was actually large. He was damage however he wasn’t hopeless … He would inform me that as quickly as this was completed, as quickly as we work out what’s going to occur with Prince, then I’ll care for that. You could possibly principally say he was white-knuckling it.”
Poor Aaron…
Taylor doesn’t need his good friend to solely be remembered for his lows, although — actually, he mentioned he had a “childlike appreciation for all times”:
“He was one of many funniest individuals I’ve met. He had no restrict. He cherished to supply different individuals with enjoyable. He was quirky and his notion was totally different as a result of he’d seen a lot. He had a child-like appreciation of life. He cherished to see individuals joyful. He had a carefreeness that was unmatched. He was. 34-year-old doing backflips off a drum set on stage – who does that any extra? … If you happen to went into his home and opened his pantry it might appear to be how a 10-year-old child’s home would look if he had 1,000,000 {dollars}.”
Aww, that sounds precisely just like the Aaron Carter all of us knew and nonetheless love so very a lot.
Our hearts are with Taylor and the remainder of Aaron’s household and family members throughout this time. He shall be dearly missed.
