Even though my brother and I have had a complicated relationship, my love for him has never ever faded,” the Back Street Boy singer wrote. “Sometimes we want to blame someone or something for a loss, but the truth is that addiction and mental illness is the real villain here. I will miss my brother more than anyone will ever know.” Nick broke down in tears on stage during the Back Street Boys concert in London on Sunday.
