The “In Memoriam” portion of the 65th Grammy Awards on Sunday February 5 honored musicians who shaped the music world and left it in 2022. Among others, tributes were paid to David Crosby, Andy Fletcher, Lisa Marie Presley and Olivia Newton-John. Christine McVie was commemorated with a cover of her Fleetwood Mac hit “Songbird.” However, Aaron Carter was missing from the list, although the musician was credited in the official Grammys program.

Fans therefore got upset on Twitter and denounced the Recording Academy. One user wrote: “How can you leave Aaron Carter out of the memorial? He sold millions of albums, his life consisted of music. I’m stunned and sad you didn’t mention him.” Other Twitter users posted pictures in his honor.

The pop singer and brother of Backstreet Boys member Nick Carter wasn’t the only one forgotten during the minutes of silence – rapper Gangsta Boo, Modest Mouse drummer Jeremiah Green and jazz musician Bernard Wright are among those who died, as well mentioned musicians.

Aaron Carter died at the age of 34. His housekeeper found him lifeless in the bathtub of his home on November 5, 2022. The coroner then ordered an autopsy – traces of medication and compressed air were found in his body. His sixth and final album BLACKLISTED was released shortly thereafter. Originally, Platte was not supposed to be released until his 35th birthday on December 7th.
