Music legend Jackson Browne has announced the devastating death of his son, Ethan Browne, at the age of 52.
The singer-songwriter confirmed the sad news in a public statement on his social media, explaining that family members found Ethan unresponsive at his home on November 25.
The family statement conveyed their deep sorrow and asked for privacy during this incredibly difficult time, confirming that they do not plan to release any further details, including the cause of death, at this time.
Ethan Browne, born in 1973 to Jackson Browne and model-actress Phyllis Major, led a creative and multifaceted life despite experiencing profound loss early on.
When he was just six months old, he appeared alongside his famous father on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, offering the world a first glimpse of the child who would grow up in the shadow of rock and roll royalty.
Tragically, his mother, Phyllis Major, died by suicide in 1976 when Ethan was just a toddler.
Jackson Browne often spoke about the deep commitment he made to raising Ethan as a single father in the wake of that loss, stating that balancing songwriting and fatherhood became his "main focus" in life.
Ethan found his own artistic path in the entertainment world. He worked as a model, gracing campaigns for designers like Isaac Mizrahi.
He also appeared in films like Hackers in 1995 and Raising Helen in 2004.
In addition, he pursued music, launching his own record label, Spinside Records, and forming the musical duo Alain Zane.
Jackson Browne frequently expressed his pride in Ethan, particularly regarding his success as a dedicated father himself.
The loss of Ethan Browne at 52 is a second heartbreaking tragedy for the Browne family, who now ask the public to respect their grief and need for quiet reflection.
