Nick Carter memoir set for release later this year

Backstreet Boys member Nick Carter has announced his memoir, "Facing the Music and Living to Talk About It," is on track for a September 2013 release.

The memoir will highlight Carter's favorite moments from recording and touring with 90s boy-band Backstreet Boys, and will include his own experiences from being on stage and learning to live with fame, Inquisitr reported.

But it was not always fame and fortune for Carter, 33. Carter struggled with drugs and alcohol for some time during his music career and talks about getting his life back to normal after a DUI arrest in 2005.

This is one of the few times he has talked about it, aside from an interview in 2011 on "Dr. Phil." Carter also talks about some of the lowest points in his life, including when his younger sister died after an overdose in 2012.

Carter is the first Backstreet Boy to release a book, and will celebrate its release along with a whirlwind of a year. Carter is engaged to Lauren Kitt and will go on tour with all of the original Backstreet Boys to celebrate the band's 20-year anniversary. The band also releases its eighth album on July 30, called "In A World Like This."

This is the first time all five members of the best-selling boy band in history have gone on tour since 2006.
