Bobby Brown is taking “every little step” he can towards peace.
The 53-year-old R&B singer revealed that he catches glimpses of his late children, daughter Bobbi Kristina and son Bobby Jr., together in his dreams.
In the new A&E docuseries “Biography: Bobby Brown,” dropping May 30, the New Edition band mate was candid about the tragic deaths of both of his kids.
“I always see them at beaches or in fields,” he told People in a recent interview. “They’re running away, but they’re laughing. And they’re always together. I didn’t have many dreams about Bobbi Kris before Bobby Jr. died. But then all of a sudden — floods of dreams.”
Bobbi Kristina died at the age of 22 in 2015 after she was placed in a medically induced coma following a drug abuse. Bobbi was also the daughter of the late great singer-actress Whitney Houston, who died in 2012 from cocaine intoxication and coronary artery disease.
Bobby Jr. was found dead in his home in 2020. He was 28. Both of Brown’s children, whom he explains “were both musicians and loved to sing,” died as a consequence of drug abuse.
“No family, no father should have to go through this,” the “King of Stage” singer noted, adding that he and his wife, Alicia Etheredge, have been hard at work speaking out about the dangers of drug abuse.
He routinely visualizes Bobbi Kristina and Bobby Jr. together and happy when he sleeps, and said: “That’s enough for a father to feel like God has them.”
The former New Edition member still struggles today with the pain of losing his children. “Their relationship was tight. They’d get into their little tiffs, but they were thick as thieves,” he said of the pair’s connection as siblings. “I’ve cried, but not how I want to. I really want to just scream to the top of my lungs and cry, but it’s just not there.”
Brown is now sober and has undergone therapy. He stated that his other children — Landon, 35, La’Princia, 33, and his three youngest with Etheredge, Cassius, 12, Bodhi, 6, and Hendrix, 5 — help him get through his darkest periods.
He previously opened up about Bobbi Kristina and Bobby Jr.’s deaths last year during an episode of “Red Table Talk.”
“Losing [my son] was very, very unexpected, just like losing my daughter,” he said at the time. “He was someone that I just admired him as a young man and how he grew up. He just wanted to be a part of something that was going to be special. His smile, when he smiled, he just brightened up a room.”
