In a deeply emotional and moving moment, Alan Jackson, the legendary country music icon, has broken his silence regarding the tragic death of his late son-in-law, Ben Selecman, a loss that rocked not just his family but fans across the country.

His heartfelt words left the audience in tears and served as a poignant reminder of the raw pain of losing a loved one.

The Tragedy That Shook a Family

Ben Selecman, who was married to Jacksonโ€™s daughter Mattie, tragically passed away in September 2018 after suffering a fatal accident. Selecman, a young and vibrant assistant district attorney, fell while helping a woman into a boat at his familyโ€™s home in Florida. The injury resulted in a traumatic brain injury that led to his untimely death at the age of 28. It was a sudden and horrific loss for the Jackson family, who were left to mourn the death of a young man with so much life ahead of him.

Despite the overwhelming grief, Alan Jackson, known for his quiet demeanor and private nature, had not spoken publicly about Selecmanโ€™s death until now. The pain of losing a son-in-law, someone who had become part of the family, was something that Jackson, a man who has always kept his personal life private, struggled to put into words. However, during a recent tour performance, Jackson opened up in front of his fans, honoring Ben with a tribute that left many in tears.

โ€œIโ€™ve kept this inside for a long time, but tonight I want to say a few words about a man I loved, my son-in-law, Ben,โ€ Jackson began, his voice steady but clearly filled with emotion. โ€œBen was taken from us too soon, and itโ€™s something thatโ€™s been hard for me to talk about. He was a great man, a young man with a kind heart and a bright future. He was part of our family, and we miss him deeply.โ€

He was a son to me, a friend, and someone who made our family better just by being part of it,โ€ Jackson said. โ€œItโ€™s been tough, but I know Ben is watching over us. And I want to make sure his memory stays alive in our hearts.โ€
