Music News: Aaron Carter’s Family Reaches Settlement
A settlement has been reached in the wrongful death lawsuit between Aaron Carter's family and a Los Angeles psychiatry clinic that prescribed him Xanax.
Amen Clinics will pay a “confidential sum†as a “full and final resolution†of the allegations against both the clinic and one of its psychiatrists, Dr John Faber, according to court documents obtained by Billboard.
The settlement’s value is “within the ballpark†of the damages Carter’s family sought, which was less than $325,000 (£240,000), the filing revealed.
Lawyers for Amen maintained the clinic followed all standards of care and that the artist’s death was caused not by Xanax, but by his inhalation of difluoroethane.
The complaint had been filed on behalf of Carter’s toddler son and sole heir, Princeton Lyric Carter, over the singer’s drug-linked drowning in 2022.
The other defendants in the lawsuit – dentist Jason Mirabile, Walgreens, and Santa Monica Medical Plaza Pharmacy – have not settled and are scheduled to go to trial in October.
Carter released his self-titled solo album in 1997 at nine years old and opened for his brother Nick’s Backstreet Boys, making him an overnight global sensation. He released his final album, Love, in 2018.
