Nick Carter sparks concern with alarming slimmed-down photo: ‘Hope he's doing fine'
Nick Carter's slimmed-down appearance has sparked concern among fans who are worried about his wellbeing.
On Wednesday, the singer shared a relaxing selfie via Instagram ahead of practice for the Backstreet Boys' Las Vegas residency at the Sphere.
'Soaking up some Vegas heat before today's rehearsals,' Carter, 45, captioned the photo.
Carter appeared in good spirits, wearing a grey hat and a dark red Ford T-shirt.
Fans couldn't help but voice their concerns about his thin frame in the comments section, however, with one writing, 'Sorry to say, but you look a bit too thin to me! … I hope you're okay, @nickcarter! Love you so much!'
'He looks very unhealthy, hope he is okay!' another added, as a third chimed in, 'I'm a [bit] nervous.'
'Maybe he took some Ozempic,' a fourth wrote, to which another snapped back, 'Maybe you should mind your business.'
Meanwhile, others rushed to Carter's defence, urging critics not to 'comment on other people's bodies.'
'Hey ladies … just like we don't want men commenting on our weight … men don't need to hear your opinions either,' one supporter wrote.
'[I] think it's more out of concern … hope he's doing fine mentally and physically,' a second added.
A source, meanwhile, told Page Six that Carter is 'not on Ozempic.'
According to the insider, the pop icon and his bandmates have been rehearsing for their Vegas residency 'for the past two months now' and 'working out non-stop.'
'It's not going to be an easy show,' the source continued, adding that Carter's social media proves that he has slowly slimmed down over the past few months.
'It didn't happen overnight,' they said.
Reps for Carter did not immediately respond to Page Six's request for comment.
The Backstreet Boys — which also consists of Brian Littrell, AJ McLean, Kevin Richardson and Howie Dorough — will begin their Into The Millennium residency at the Sphere starting July 11.
They are set to perform 21 concerts before wrapping their final show in late August.
Nick's return to the stage comes after the tragic deaths of three of his siblings, Leslie Carter, Aaron Carter and Bobbie Jean Carter, who passed away in 2012, 2022 and 2023, respectively.
In November 2023, the I Want It That Way singer admitted he was still grieving his late brother, telling E! News that it 'hurts' not to have made amends before he passed.
He also addressed Bobbie Jean's death in January 2024, writing via Instagram that 'it may take a lifetime to fully process the loss [his] family has endured over the years.'
Nick was one of five siblings. The family is also survived by Aaron's twin sister, Angel.

Australian band DZ Deathrays suffer major loss as fire rips through Sydney warehouse
An Australian band have revealed that they suffered a major loss after a fire broke out in a Sydney warehouse. About 60 firefighters were called to the fire in Marrickville's industrial estate that broke out just before 3.30am on Wednesday night, closing roads and covering the inner suburb with thick smoke. Aussie band DZ Deathrays took to social media on Thursday to reveal that the fire had ripped through their vinyl and merchandise, leaving thousands of their fans disappointed who had ordered from them. 'FYI everyone. Our merch warehouse went up in flames last night so we have lost all our merch and vinyl in Australia,' wrote the band on Instagram. 'Thankfully no one was injured. If you were waiting on any merch items we are sorry, we will be in touch.' 'Sorry to hear. Hope we could do something to help!' commented one fan on the video. 'Bloody hell! Sorry to hear lads, glad to hear everyone is OK!' remarked another. A third chimed in, adding: 'Devastating loss, so glad no one was hurt!' Isaac Broadbent, who works for The Araca Group, a company specialising in music and theatre merchandise, said the burnt-out building was filled with flammable stock. 'The building was full of cardboard boxes, T-shirts, tour programs, vinyl records, mugs, hats, beanies. Whatever caused the fire, all that would have gone up in seconds,' he said. The fire was brought under control by 5.30am, but Cook Rd between Addison Rd and Victoria Rd remained closed on Thursday morning. Firefighters were still trying to extinguish the blaze as of 7.30am but confirmed they had prevented it from spreading to any neighbouring businesses. Fire and Rescue NSW's Greg Rankin told Today there were no reports of anyone inside the building at the time or firefighters being injured. He said the area was under a flight path, with crews liaising with airport authorities and police as flights started arriving in Sydney. 'We had our drone go up and do a search of the area,' he said. 'The smoke is … settled down, it's staying quite low-level. '(Firefighters have) checked the structure next door and there was no fire penetration into that, which has been great, so they've contained the fire to that property of origin.' The cause of the fire is so far unknown.

Hollywood star Sharon Stone, 67, poses topless for Vogue
Movie icon Sharon Stone has got pulses racing in a sexy and powerful new black-and-white photoshoot. Hollywood superstar Sharon can be seen posing for the dramatic pictures wearing a sheer outfit and showing off her age-defying elegance. The star, 67, looks stunning as she poses for Vogue Adria's June 2025 issue in a series of melodramatic positions. The series of sensual portraits see the actress working her magic for the camera alongside over 20 male models. Exuding old-school glamour, the star looks striking in the sophisticated shoot alongside the plethora of men. The Total Recall star can be seen perched on a man's shoulders with her legs wrapped around him as the crowd tries to grab her. The blonde bombshell looks divine with her hair gently curled, wearing a mesh see-through outfit that shows off her enviable figure. In another chic shot, the actress can be seen in a black floor-length gown, with her arms in the air. With a pout on her lips and her hair in a fashionable quiff, Sharon looks the epitome of elegance. More shots show Sharon embracing her femininity and power as she stands strong, wearing a sharp suit as she is watched by a legion of men. Wowing in a more masculine white suit, with her hair in a large quiff, the star can be seen striking a pose with her hands in her pockets, standing calmly and collectively. Lying on a table with her long legs on display, Sharon looks every inch the sex siren in the provocative picture, while a man kisses her. A couple of male models gaze at her as she lies across their laps and tugs at her white shirt suggestively with her leg around a man's neck. The international icon is wearing a sheer black skin-tight outfit for one cover with rips across her svelte body, surrounded by the models. Another cover shot sees her posing in a chair wearing a boiler suit with her hair relaxed and down. Draped in men, the star appears to be emulating her classic pose in the cult movie Basic Instinct, with her legs wide open as she watches the men breakdance. The shoot aims to herald Sharon as the 'embodiment of an independent, fearless, and unapologetic woman who continues to break boundaries—in culture, fashion and identity.' In the cult classic 1992 erotic thriller Basic Instinct, Sharon shocked moviegoers with her jaw-dropping bold character. She made movie history during a scene in which she uncrossed her legs in a police interrogation to reveal she had no knickers on.
