Carter, 23, the brother of Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, is taking time away from working on an album and a show in Florida “to heal some emotional and spiritual issues he was dealing with,” his manager Johnny Wright says in a statement. “He has chosen to enter a facility where he feels he will get the guidance and cleansing he needs,” says Wright. ” Which in turn will help him on the music journey he’s about to take.” ARCHIVE: Cover Collection: Celebrity Addiction The statement didn’t further describe the facility or Carter’s issues. But E! reports that Carter entered a Southern California center earlier this month for “addiction issues.” Carter was arrested in 2008 in Texas for investigation of marijuana possession, and in 2009 it was revealed he owed more $1 million in back taxes.
