Beckett Cypher, the 21-year old son of Melissa Etheridge and her former partner Julie Cypher has died.

In a statement Melissa said, “Today I joined the hundreds of thousands of families who have lost loved ones to opioid addiction. My son Beckett, who was just 21, struggled to overcome his addiction and finally succumbed to it today. He will be missed by those who loved him, his family and friends.

“My heart is broken. I am grateful for those who have reached out with condolences and I feel their love and sincere grief.
We struggle with what else we could have done to save him, and in the end we know he is out of the pain now.
I will sing again, soon. It has always healed me”.

Earlier a statement on Melissa’s social media reads:

“We’re sad to inform you that Melissa’s son Beckett passed away and there will not be a Concerts From Home show today”.

Melissa and Julie had two children by artificial insemination with Julie. David Crosby is the biological father. Beckett has an older sister Bailey Jean. Melissa also has 13-year old twin daughters with former partner Tammy Lynn Michaels.
