Leslie Carter was laid to rest over the weekend, in a modest funeral that was attended by an intimate group of family members. While siblings including Aaron Carter were amongst the mourners, Nick Carter, was not. How in the world could the singer miss his sisters funeral? “I wanted to be at my sister’s funeral, but my family has always had a complicated dynamic,” Nick said in a statement to E! News.

“I love my family. I want to thank everyone for all of their compassion and support that I have received during this most difficult time.”

Apparently there are rumors swirling around that Nick was never told where/when the service would be taking place, it probably didn’t matter anyway. Nick was scheduled host Epic Saturdays at The Pool After Dark Nightclub at Harrah’s Resort in Atlantic City.

Here are pictures of him from that event – same day as his sister’s funeral.

“There are so many emotions for me surrounding the loss of my sister,” he said. “I am trying to stay healthy, positive and focused.”
