Sad news for Nick Cave

[matt2007]

His son Arthur has died following a fall from cliffs on the south coast

RIP

[The Placid Casual]

Thoughts are with Nick and the rest of Arthur's family. Devastating news.

[Mr November]

Ugh, how tragic. Thoughts with big Nick today.

;(

[Rumblestripe]

Oh my Lord, how dreadful.

 

Thoughts and love to Nick and his family and all those who knew the young lad.

[Winslow Leach]

Shit, that's awful. Cave is such a brilliantly theatrical presence on stage you sort of forget there's a real person with a real family and real concerns behind it all.

Thats gonna be tough for the twin brother

[GlastoSimon]

That's awful, RIP Arthur and thoughts with the family

just read this on Metro, awful news. Hope Niok et al are ok. RIP Arthur.

[When Jokers Attack]

Horrible news

[ThomThomDrum]

I cant imagine the heartbreak. Devastatingly tragic stuff. My thoughts are with Nick and the family

[sheffieldlady]

Awful thoughts with Nick and his family! RIP Arthur. 

[Wanderlei]

Just saw this news. Really sad.

Thats gonna be tough for the twin brother

it's a really weird tragedy to comment on based on some of Nick's writing, and the whole fulfilling prophecy of Earl - was he the firstborn?

This is utterly devastating news. Im good friends with someone who had until recently been a minder for Nick and Susies children. He was very close to Arthur and the rest of the family. Says he was a hugely caring and thoughtful lad and a complete delight to be around. My thoughts are with the whole of their family now. With a family of young children Lord knows how they all must be coping. Simply tragic.

[Brave Sir Robin]

So, so tragic. Can't imagine how the family must be feeling.

[jackarmy]

Utterly heartbreaking. RIP.

Indeed, well said. R.I.P Arthur

[**claire**]

Awful news. Thoughts are with them all.

Just seen this on the news, sad, could be a bit of an understatement though OP, fucking devastating for any parent to lose a child...

This was really upsetting news. Underneath the stage facade and the fact he's an incredibly hard working artist, Nick Cave also seems like someone who is a pretty grounded family man. RIP Cave Jr.

Pretty sure your friend is my cousin. Horrible news.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Just wanted to echo what's been said. Really tragic news. Can't begin to imagine how they must be feeling.

Yeah. In fact, it was only the other day I brought up that Chico pantomime thing as a (tongue in cheek) blemish on his 'rock and roll' status, forgetting he was there because he was sharing a treasured moment with his family and being a good dad and getting involved. And in real life, that's what's 'rock and roll' ain't it? Not giving a toss about what anyone thinks and doing something for the people you love.

 

Anyway, it is unimaginably awful for Nick and his family and thoughts are with them. RIP.
