Angel Conrad and Lance Bass are planning a benefit concert to raise mental health awareness, featuring brother Nick, members of Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, and more.
For the first time ever, Angel Conrad is looking at a birthday without her twin, Aaron Carter. She took to Instagram to pay sad tribute to her brother on what would have been their shared 35th birthday.
In a lengthy Instagram caption, Angel mourned the loss of two siblings, remembering the death of their sister Leslie 11 years ago. “It feels unfair,” she wrote. “I feel too young to carry the weight of losing two of my siblings.”

She contrasted the two losses, saying she was “blindsided and shocked” by the loss of Leslie, but with Aaron, she felt that they had tried everything.
“In fact, I spoke with him two days before he passed, and I begged, once again, for him to let us help,” she noted, adding, “I did not know that would be the last time that I would ever hear his voice.”
She called the day she lost her brother the “worst day” of her life, saying, “It feels like a piece of my soul is gone.”
At the same time, though, Angel said that “his passing has lit a fire within me. I feel a calling and responsibility to help other families and continue the conversation to further break the stigmas that surround mental illness.”
