The 29-year-old singer says it took him 10 years to accept he had an alcohol and drug problem. Even being charged with driving under the influence (DUI), getting caught up in a bar brawl and his ballooning weight – which crept up to 224lbs – were not enough to make him stop.
He eventually sought help after experiencing chest pains and fatigue last spring.
Nick underwent tests with a Florida doctor, but embarked on a huge cocaine binge the evening before the results were due.
He said: 'I went out and just went nuts. I drank so much and I did a bunch of blow. I felt like I was trying to kill myself – because I didn't want to get the results.'
Nick eventually listened to the doctors and has quit drugs and lost 57lbs.

"But how do the Backstreet Boys, the first, if not best, of the all-male pop groups to dominate the latter half of the '90s and early '00s, fit in among the roster of current hitmakers? The niche the group helped pioneer is slim, if not altogether nonexistent. Can they remain relevant to a new generation of consumers as well as to one-time fans who might have moved on?"
