Etheridge paid tribute to her son in a statement shared on her social media, writing: "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," Etheridge wrote.

Sounds like this was no surprise to her and she had realized it was probably an eventuality.

Horrible situation.

I almost lost a brother under the same circumstances. It’s no joke, and I wish we’d do more to combat it.

Didn’t David Crosby provide the sperm? No way I would let that guy be my sperm donor

Just goes to show what a terrible addiction this is. If you have a problem, get help. Prayers to her and her family.

Horrible situation and obviously sucks for her.

Having said that, David Crosby had absurdly serious drug issues for decades and this was known to her when she decided he would be the father. She was blinded by the/his creative brilliance. In another scenario, it could have worked out but there were inherent risks.

Dafuq is so funny? That I'm clueless when it comes to drugs?

If you're going to say the obvious opium derivatives were the culprit, then just name which fricking one did him in.

If it's the all the rage pain killer, say that. No?

I assume the blanket term opioids to cover the stigmatized mental health drugs of prescription nature.

Lost my brother to it, age 28. He was going into rehab "next week". It destroyed my family.

I remember talking about this at work when this became public.

I said she’d have been better off just going to a Dodgers game and randomly choosing another donor from the nearest concession line.

Sad to hear about the death.
