Nick Cave says that when you are 'broken apart' by grief you 'come back tougher' as he opens up about the deaths of sons Arthur and Jethro


The Australian musician and actor, 66, tragically lost two of his sons in the space of seven years.

Seven years later, in 2022, Nick's son Jethro, 31, who had schizophrenia and battled drug addiction, died in Melbourne two days after he was released from jail and two months after violently assaulting his own mother. An inquest into Arthur's death heard that the teenager, who also had cannabis in his system, was 'completely disorientated' as he stumbled off a cliff into the sheer Ovingdean Gap near Brighton. The troubled man, who had spent years in and out of custody as his life spiralled out of control in a haze of illicit drugs, had been facing more criminal charges when he was found dead in a $100-a-night motel in Melbourne.
