What Happened to Nick Carter?

I guess this is what it feels like when your childhood crush grows up. I know some of you are saying, "who?" But Nick carter is the blonde Backstreet Boy. If you're still saying who, then go Google because I can only give you so much. My 13 year old self is crying. I used to love the Backstreet Boys when I was 13, to the point of obsession. I had posters on the ceiling, wall, all their CD's. Millennium was the first CD I bought; I wish I knew what happened to it but anyway. I used to love Nick now I'm like what happened?

 Excuse the rudeness but Nick Carter looks like he got his butt whopped by the ugly stick. He's 32 and he looks 52. He looks like a Swedish  porn producer from the 70's. He looks old and used up.

It took me awhile to find that pic because Nick has been having a hard couple of years. He's, um questionable looking, without all the airbrushing and make up. He's not aging well. I hope this is not due to drugs. If it is, I need him to get help ASAP. I need the rest of the Backstreet Boys to stage an intervention because this isn't going well.
