Backstreet Boy Nick Carter to release memoir about substance abuse, tumultuous family Sept. 25

NEW YORK, N.Y. – Nick Carter isn’t only writing songs — he’s written a book.

The Backstreet Boys singer will release a memoir, “Facing the Music and Living to Talk About It,” on Sept. 24 via Bird Street Books. The 33-year-old is the first of the group to release a book.

The autobiography and self-help book will include stories about Carter’s teenage years in the multiplatinum Backstreet Boys, his struggles with substance and alcohol abuse and the hardships of his family. His younger siblings include Aaron and Leslie Carter. Leslie, who battled with substance abuse, died last year.

Carter is engaged to Lauren Kitt. The Backstreet Boys will release their eighth album, “In a World Like This,” on July 30.
