Melissa Etheridge refuses to feel “guilt” or “shame” over her son’s 2020 overdose.

The singer told Page Six at the opening of her off-Broadway show, “My Window,” that she’s been able to move on by “having a deep spiritual belief that we all make our own choices.”

“We can all choose every day, whether it’s love or fear, and my son made his choices and I did the best I could as a mom and I’m not going to take any guilt or shame,” she told us. “He wouldn’t want me to stop and ruin my life because of his choices.”

In May 2020, the “I’m the Only One” singer announced on social media that her son Beckett died from opioid addiction at age 21.

“Today I joined the hundreds of thousands of families who have lost loved ones to opioid addiction,” she tweeted. “My son Beckett, who was just 21, struggled to overcome his addiction and finally succumbed to it today.

“He will be missed by those who loved him, his family and friends. My heart is broken. I am grateful for those who have reached out with condolences and I Feel their love and sincere grief,” the note continued.

“We struggled with what else we could have done to save him and in the end we know he is out of the pain now.”

“I will sing again, soon,” Etheridge’s note concluded. “It has always healed me.”

Etheridge’s show also deals with when she came out in 1993.
