Singer Aaron Carter has checked into a rehabilitation centre to improve his health, his representative confirmed.

“Aaron has decided to enter a facility to improve his health and work on his overall wellness,” said Carter’s publicist Steve Honig.

“He is going to do this privately and focus all his attention on being the best person and performer possible. He is grateful for the support and love from his fans and looks forward to coming back stronger than ever before,” he added.

The singer was arrested in July on charges of driving under the influence, possession of marijuana and drug-related objects.

Following his arrest, Carter had a public spat on Twitter with older brother Nick Carter, who is himself a singer (and one of the Backstreet Boys’ original members), in which the younger sibling called out Nick’s reaction to his arrest.
