Melissa Etheridge's child Beckett with ex-accomplice Julie Cipher has passed on. 

He was 21. "We're pitiful to educate you that Melissa's child Beckett died and there won't be a Concerts From Home show today. – #TeamME," the artist's Twitter account posted on Wednesday. 

No reason for death was revealed. Etheridge has been facilitating Facebook Live singalongs since mid-March. 

"We can, shockingly, affirm the news is valid," Etheridge's reps said in an email to The Post, including that they "don't have an extra proclamation as of now." 

Sympathies quickly started pouring in from big names learning of the 21-year-old's demise.

"Gracious my God goodness my God no. Petitions and love to Melissa Rest In Peace dear Beckett" said Rosanne Arquette. 

"God help us! Kindly give her my most profound compassion," composed Liz Phair. 

"My god. This is inconceivably lamentable," said Andy Lassner. 

The "Go to My Window" artist met Cipher in 1986 on the arrangement of the video for her single, "Present to Me Some Water." At the time, Cipher was hitched to on-screen character Lou Diamond Phillips, yet they split in 1990, and she proceeded to have girl Bailey, 23, and Beckett with the Grammy champ. They uncovered that their sperm giver was artist David Crosby. 

"I don't accept that my kids will be needing in any capacity since they didn't have a dad in the home each and every day," Etheridge said in a meeting on "an hour" in 2000. "What they have in the house is two cherishing guardians. I imagine that puts them on top of things." 

Soon thereafter, the pair split, and Etheridge began dating on-screen character, Tammy Lynn Michaels. In 2006, Michaels brought forth twins Johnnie Rose and Steven Miller by means of a mysterious sperm benefactor. 

The couple isolated in 2010, and Etheridge marry "Medical caretaker Jackie" co-maker Linda Wallem in 2014. 

Prior to inviting Bailey and Beckett, Etheridge addressed The Advocate in 1999 about needing youngsters. 

"I feel that the more gay guardians raise great, solid, caring individuals, the better the world will be," she said.
