Earlier this year, Etheridge mourned the passing of Crosby, who died at age 81.
“I am grieving the loss of my friend Beckett and Bailey’s biological father, David,” she captioned an image on Instagram, of her sitting next to Crosby as he played the guitar.
During her interview with Page Six, the “Come to My Window” songstress also told us she refuses to feel any guilt or shame over Beckett’s death. She shared some wise words of advice for other parents who have lost children due to addiction.
“I would say that guilt and shame are nothing to hold on to,” she explained. “They have no place in your life, your happiness matters, your health matters. So let that go and continue living your life.”
Celebs who came out to support Etheridge at the show included Ariana DeBose, Gina Gershon, Tamron Hall and Sophia Bush.
