Aaron Carter’s fans were so worried about the singer, they called police to ask officers to check on him.
TMZ has reported the requests for a welfare check came in the evening of Tuesday, September 20, after fans were worried the 34-year-old might be doing drugs off-camera while streaming a live chat on social media.
The screen went black during the online conversation and some fans thought they could hear spraying and inhaling going on in the background.

The I Want Candy singer has previously admitted to having a huffing addiction.
According to McGill University, huffing, ‘involves inhaling (or ‘huffing’) fumes from your everyday run-of-the-mill household products, such as glue, cleaning products or paint. This huffing produces a high that is similar to the effects of alcohol.’
When police and fire rescue responded to the musician’s home in Lancaster, California, sources say Aaron didn’t come to the door at first, but when investigators did make contact, the singer said he had been sleeping.
Results: No drugs were found at the home and there was no evidence of any suicide attempt
