Melissa Etheridges son with her former partner Julie Cypher, Beckett Cypher, has died at the age of 21.
Were sad to inform you that Melissas son Beckett passed away and there will not be a Concerts From Home show today. #TeamME, a tweet on the singers account read.
Etheridge and Cypher had two kids together before they broke up in 2000. Beckett and their other child, Bailey, were both born via artificial insemination. Their biological father was singer David Crosby.
This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available
