Nick Cave Announces Death of His Son, Jethro Lazenby, at 31 (Paste Magazine)

Cave confirmed his son's passing in a statement this morning.

Also directed by Dominik, it features performances of tracks from both Ghosteen and Carnage, and is intended to be a “companion piece” to One More Time With Feeling. I hear him talk to me, parent me, guide me, though he may not be there. Grief is the terrible reminder of the depths of our love and, like love, grief is non-negotiable. These are precious gifts that are as valid and as real as we need them to be. His passing, which coincided with the recording of the Bad Seeds’ 2016 album Skeleton Tree, influenced both that album and the band’s 2019 follow-up, Ghosteen. Andrew Dominik’s 2016 film One More Time With Feeling documented Cave and his family in the immediate aftermath of Arthur’s death, as well as the completion of Skeleton Tree’s recording. Cave shared the news in a statement to NME, which reads: “With much sadness, I can confirm that my son, Jethro, has passed away.
