Musician Jackson Browne<\/a> has issued a statement following the death of his son Ethan, age 52.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday (November 26), the musician revealed the death of his son in a Facebook post, writing: \u201cIt 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe ask for privacy and respect for the family during this difficult time. No further details are available at this moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ethan worked as a model, musician and an actor and had roles in the films Raising Helen, Hackers, and the television series Birds of Prey.<\/p>\n

Ethan also formed part of a musical duo Alain Zane alongside Cat Colbert. The pair released the album \u2018Right Before Your Eyes\u2019 in 2022. Ethan also founded Spinside Records, an imprint on Jackson\u2019s independent label, Inside Recordings.<\/p>\n

Ethan famously appeared with his father on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine when he was just six months old.<\/p>\n

Speaking about his son\u2019s music in 2022<\/a>, Jackson said: \u201cHe\u2019s a very talented bass player\u2026I enjoy watching him and listening to his music. Does he remind me of myself at that age? Nah, not really. He\u2019s a better musician than I am.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ethan was recently mentioned in Mark Ronson\u2019s new memoir <\/a>Night People.\u00a0As per\u00a0People<\/a>, Ronson recalled befriending Ethan who was roommates in New York City with Simon Rex at the time. Ronson described Ethan as \u201cthe real deal \u2014 with an angular face and soulful gaze that seemed to reveal his deepest truths, even from a glossy page.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also said that Ethan had the \u201csharp cheekbones\u201d of his late mother, Phyllis Major and the \u201csoulful eyes\u201d of his dad. Major died by suicide in 1976, aged 30<\/a>. Jackson said in a 2021 interview in Route Magazine<\/a> that after the death of Major, being a father to Ethan was his \u201cmain focus\u201d in life.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Jackson appeared alongside Bruce Springsteen in New Jersey.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center organised an American Music Honors show at Monmouth University in West Long Branch, New Jersey on April 26, where an audience of just 700 got to witness the Boss jam alongside Browne, John Fogerty, Smokey Robinson<\/a>, Tom Morello<\/a>, Darlene Love<\/a> and Nora Guthrie.<\/p>\n
