Melissa Etheridge shared emotional memories of her late son Beckett, who passed away at the age of 21 due to issues related to opioid addiction  in 2020.

During her appearance in an episode of Who's Talking to Chris Wallace? on MAX, Melissa discussed her loving time with Beckett with the host Chris Wallace.

When Chris asked, "What do you want to tell us about Beckett?," the I'm the Only One singer responded, "I would tell you that he was a special, just sweet soul sensitive, sensitive soul, who found human-ing to be very hard."

Melissa further told, "And his one love that he found, one happiness that he found in life was snowboarding."

"And it was a snowboarding accident where he broke his ankle when he was 17-18 that the Vicodin started and once you sort of numb the pain, and it numbs all the pain in you and then you get hooked chemically, it's just almost impossible," she added.

Wallace then requested the 62-year-old singer to describe the feelings she experienced in the last couple of years with her son.

On which Melissa shared,  "You can't go save them, you can't run and save them every other week when they're making that poor choice."

 "You have to eventually let a person make their choices, so whatever happens so when the call did come, I was like, ok, here it is," she added.

The Breathe vocalist said, "I mean, it's never like what you think, but there was relief because one he's out of pain. He's not in that pain. And now I can just love him for what I know of his soul, his beautiful soul."
