The controversial singer, who passed away last year, was not included in the Grammy Awards memorial segment.
The 65th Grammy Awards ceremony, the world’s premier music festival, was held on Sunday, February 5 (local time).
Every year at this ceremony, there is an “In Memoriam” section to honor those who have had a major impact on the music world who have passed away during the past year.
This year, the greats such as Lisa Marie Presley, Steven “Twitch” Boss, Christine McVie, David Crosby, and Olivia Newton-John were all shown on a giant screen at the event, while the former idol singer who passed away last November was honored with an “In Memoriam” section. Fans are outraged because former idol singer Aaron Carter (age 35), who passed away in November, was not visible on the giant screen.
And to bring the In Memoriam segment to a close, Mick Fleetwood accompanied Sheryl Crow and Bonnie Raitt for a moving cover of ‘Songbird,’ originally written by his late Fleetwood Mac bandmember, Christine McVie #GRAMMYs pic.twitter.com/93bw7XpQU8

A representative for Nick Carter, Aaron Carter’s older brother and a member of the popular vocal group “Backstreet Boys,” said he is “very sad” about the Grammy’s response.
Aaron started his career as a child actor in his teens and established himself as an idol singer when he delivered hits such as “I’m All About You,” “I Want Candy,” and “Aaron’s Party (Come Get It)” mainly in the late 1990s. However, she later became addicted to drugs and alcohol.

However, she later suffered from drug and alcohol addiction and disappeared from the public eye after repeated scandals.
Last November, she was found dead in the bathtub of her home. The cause of death is believed to have been an accidental drug overdose.
Aaron’s life was a tumultuous one, but the fact that his legacy was not honored at the Grammy Awards still drew scorn from his fans.
One Twitter user posted a photo of Aaron that day. He wrote: “The Grammys chose not to honor Aaron Carter’s picture while paying tribute to the singers who passed away. It’s a very sad situation, so here I am, mourning in a small way. Aaron Carter, may you rest in peace,” he captioned the post.
Other users added, “I don’t understand why Aaron Carter is being left out of the memorial section. He changed the course of teen pop, broke a lot of records, and paved the way for pop stars to follow in his footsteps.” Others praised Aaron’s accomplishments, writing, “Grammy, why did you give 10 minutes for a memorial segment and not include Aaron Carter! The way he died may have been a problem, but he was also a musician who died last year. Why didn’t he get in!” Some have been seen to protest, “Hey Grammy, it’s insanely rude not to include Aaron Carter in the memorial section.”
Genuinely don’t understand why Aaron Carter was left out of the in memoriam.. he completely changed the teen pop music game, broke so many records, and truly paved the way for so many young pop stars that followed him. #GRAMMYs
