Nick Carter recently revealed to People magazine his journey with drug and alcohol addiction. Nick told the magazine he spent nearly a decade abusing alcohol and doing copious amounts of cocaine. At one point his weight ballooned to 224 pounds but there was nothing he could do to stop all the partying. His big wake up call was last spring while on tour and he experienced chest pains and fatigue.
more photos after the hop…
The cardiologist told Nick he was suffering cardiomyopathy, which is a weakening of the heart muscle that can lead to death if it continues to be abused. He says this was the only wake up call (a DUI and draining bank account didn’t do it) to cause a renewed interest in his health. He’s not a healthy 167 pounds.
On a side note, I’d never thought about it before, but Nick Carter is sort of a hot piece. Hm.
