Jackson Browne’s son, Ethan Browne, has died at the age of 52.
The “Running on Empty” singer took to Facebook to announce the devastating news on Wednesday. He revealed that Ethan was found “unresponsive in his home” on Tuesday morning and passed away shortly after.
“It is with deep sorrow that we share that on the morning of November 25, 2025, Ethan Browne, the son of Jackson Browne and Phyllis Major, was found unresponsive in his home and has passed away,” Jackson, 77, shared.
“We ask for privacy and respect for the family during this difficult time,” he added. “No further details are available at this moment.”
The Post has reached out to Jackson’s reps for further comment.
The “Somebody Baby’s” singer and Phyllis Major welcomed Ethan in 1973.
Although Jackson and Major tied the knot two years later in 1975, their marriage came to a tragic end a few months later when Major died by suicide in March 1976. She was 30.
Ethan, meanwhile, was famous in his own right.
Besides appearing alongside his singer-songwriter father on the cover of Rolling Stone at just six months old in 1974, he had an impressive career as an actor, model and musician.
After landing a role in the Angelina Jolie thriller “Hackers” in 1995, Ethan went on to star in the 2004 Kate Hudson movie “Raising Helen,” per his IMDb page. He also appeared in a single episode of the “Batman” spinoff series “Birds of Prey” on WB TV in 2002.
Beyond his modest acting career, the “Doctor My Eyes” singer’s son modeled for famous designers like Isaac Mizrahi.
Record producer Mark Ronson, in his 2025 book “Night People,” described Ethan as “the real deal” who had “an angular face and soulful gaze that seemed to reveal his deepest truths, even from a glossy page.”
