Melissa Etheridge Says David Crosby Helped Many Couples as Sperm Donor: ‘We’re Still Finding Kids

Melissa Etheridge says David Crosby, who died in January 2023, quietly helped many couples have kids as a sperm donor, noting that they're "still finding kids" in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE.

Speaking with PEOPLE for this week's issue about her new docuseries Melissa Etheridge: I’m Not Broken, premiering July 9 on Paramount+, the singer-songwriter, 63, says that her experience with the guitarist — who is the biological father of her daughter Bailey and late son Beckett — "really taught me about generosity." In addition to Bailey, 27, and Beckett, who died of an opioid overdose in 2020, Crosby is also dad to sons James and Django, as well as daughters Erika and Donovan. Etheridge shares Bailey and Beckett with Cypher and is also mom to twins Johnnie Rose and Steven Miller, 17, with ex Tammy Lynn Michaels.
