“The Voice” alum Dylan Carter died in a car accident in South Carolina, his family confirmed over the weekend. He was 24.
“Our family is heartbroken to hear about the passing of Dylan Carter in a car accident,” they wrote in a heartbreaking statement shared via Facebook Sunday.
“As a gifted singer, he frequently entertained our community with his performances at Town events. His kindness and charm earned him immense respect, and his absence will be deeply felt.”
The statement continued, “To the loved ones and acquaintances of Dylan, we offer our sincerest condolences during this difficult period. The Town of Moncks Corner, its Council, and entire staff extend their deepest sympathies.”
Carter’s family concluded the post by saying that the late singer “was much more to our family than an entertainer, he was our friend” and that they “are deeply saddened” by his passing.
Carter died Saturday in Colleton County, South Carolina, during a car crash, according to multiple reports.
Additional details about Carter’s death have not been publicly disclosed.
The singer was scheduled to perform Monday night at the Town of Moncks Corner’s “Music on Main” event. However, the event has since been canceled.
The musician was only 20 when he wowed “The Voice” judges with his rendition of Whitney Houston’s 2009 hit “I Look to You.”
The performance — which Carter shared was a tribute to his late mother — prompted all four judges to turn their chairs.
Carter ultimately chose Reba McEntire to be his coach as he was a longtime fan of the country singer.
Aside from being a musician, Carter was also a realtor and a part-owner of an RV park and campground in the Palmetto State.
