Aaron Carter<\/a><\/strong> is hitting the pause button.<\/p>\n

Following his candid conversation<\/a> on The Doctors<\/em> about his mental health, the “I Want Candy” singer announced he is canceling his current tour. “I appreciate the love and efforts from my supporters,” he tweeted<\/a> Monday morning. “But after my next two shows coming up in Kentucky & Missouri & after I fly to Vancouver to do the toy drive which I’m donating 400 toys and over 1k of fan donations I’m canceling the rest of my shows for the remaining year.” <\/p>\n

“I have to put my health first and I hope you can all understand how much I need this time to heal and recharge my batteries,” the 31-year-old continued. “I love you. Stay strong. Stay healthy, and just know I’ll be back next year ready to go. But as a man, this is what I need to do to have some peace. Xo”<\/p>\n

According to this official website<\/a>, Carter was set to play seven shows from October through January. And he stands by his decision, even though several fans tweeted back telling him to keep performing.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“No matter what I say I’m not gonna change these people’s opinions,” he wrote. “I’m going to conserve my energy and I’m going to focus on the good things that I do and not waste my time on the ones that don’t. MY HEALTH COMES FIRST.”<\/p>\n

Last week, Carter opened up about a recent diagnosis and the assortment of prescription medication he is on. “The official diagnosis,” he said on The Doctors, “is that I suffer from multiple personality disorder, schizophrenia, acute anxiety and manic depression.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

He later showed his bag of medications, which included Xanax.  “This is my reality,” he said. “Hi, I have nothing to hide.”<\/p>\n

On the following episode<\/a>, he revealed a huffing addiction and that his sister Leslie Carter<\/a><\/strong>, who died of an overdose in 2012, “got me into it.”<\/p>\n

“I was huffing because I was really f–king stupid,” he said. “I was huffing because I’m a drug addict. I’m a drug addict. I am a drug addict in recovery.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
