Legendary Singer-Songwriter Schedules First Performances After Son’s Tragic Passing
American singer-songwriter Jackson Browne has announced his first concert dates since the death of his son Ethan in November 2025, signalling a gradual return to the stage after a period of private grief. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, best known for songs such as "Doctor My Eyes" and "Running on Empty", withdrew from performing following the loss, but has since made tentative public appearances before now confirming a proper run of shows.
Browne will play three nights at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles on 19, 20 and 22 November, marking his first official concert dates in roughly a year. Presale tickets for the 22 November show open on Wednesday 29 July at 10am Pacific time via his website. In the interim, he had already eased back into performing, appearing at the "Music America: The Songs That Shaped Us" concert in June alongside Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen, and later at a Hollywood Bowl tribute to director Wes Anderson.
