Jackson Browne's Son Ethan Dead at 52 - A Life Cut Short
In a devastating blow to the music world and his family, singer-songwriter Jackson Browne's eldest son Ethan Zane Browne has passed away at the age of 52. The news was confirmed by Browne on his Instagram account in a somber statement that paid tribute to his late son.
The details surrounding Ethan's death are scarce, with no cause of death disclosed by Browne or the family. However, it is clear that the loss will be felt deeply by those who knew him. As one might expect from the son of a music legend, Ethan had his own share of creative pursuits, including modeling and acting.
As an adult, Ethan appeared in various films and television shows, including the 1995 movie "Hackers" and the TV series "Birds of Prey." He also took to music later in life, launching a record label called Spinside Records and forming a duo with musician Cat Colbert. Their debut album, "Right Before Your Eyes," was released in 2022 via Spinside.
Ethan's relationship with his father is well-documented, having been just six months old when he appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone with Browne in 1973. In an accompanying interview, Browne reflected on becoming a father for the first time, saying that it brought him a sense of joy and connection.
Tragically, Ethan's life was cut short after his mother, Phyllis Major, died by suicide when he was just three years old. His father later married model Lynne Sweeney, with whom he had another son, Ryan.
The music world is mourning the loss of Ethan Browne, a talented individual whose legacy will live on through his father's music and the memories they shared as a family.

I'm so sorry to hear about Jackson Browne's son Ethan 
He was clearly an amazing person with so much potential, especially given his background as a model, actor, and musician 
It's heartbreaking that he passed away at such a young age, leaving behind a family who loved him dearly 
. As a parent myself, it's devastating to think about the impact this loss will have on Jackson Browne and his other son Ryan 
Losing a child is one of the hardest things we can face as parents, and I can only imagine how difficult this must be for them right now 
52 feels old for a life cut short like this 
anyway, cant help but feel bad for jackson browne and his family. seemed like ethan had some cool passions too, music & modeling... maybe spinside records is where it's at 
Oh man, 52 is way too young to go... I feel bad for Jackson Browne, he must be absolutely devastated. You can't help but wonder what could've been if Ethan had more time with his family and pursuing his passions. 
It's heartbreaking that his life was cut short due to the loss of his mom so early on. RIP Ethan, your music will live on through your dad's legacy
