Martin included a picture of Carter, who was found dead in the bathtub at his California home in November aged 34 and attending the Grammy Awards as a child. She added, “He’s a multi-platinum artist who has had success since before he was a teenager. He is the most influential pop culture kid in the 90s-00s era and has been attending this show since a very young age.
