Like his father, Bobby Brown Jr was a performer, and released one of his latest tracks, Say Something, in September.

His death is the latest in a series of personal tragedies to befall the family.

It comes eight years after his stepmother Whitney Houston accidentally drowned in a bath, and five years after his 22-year-old half-sister Bobbi Kristina died in similar circumstances.

His father, Brown Bobby Snr - whose hits include My Prerogative, Every Little Step and Rock Wit'cha - has five children who are still alive.

In a statement to CNN, Brown's agent said he had no comment to make on his son's death.
