Nick Carter's sister, Leslie, passed away in upstate New York earlier today, but the singer will not cancel the rest of his tour. He is instead dedicating his tour to his sister.

"Performing is cathartic to me and I am dedicating the rest of my tour to my sister since she loved to watch me perform," Carter said in a statement released via his publicist, Jack Ketsoyan.

Carter's sister was only 25 and the family has no details on her death. They are awaiting tests to find out what happened to Leslie.

Nick Carter will resume his tour on Thursday at Irving Plaza.
