Lazenby was born in Melbourne, Australia, in 1991, but said that he did not meet his father until he was about 7 or 8. Lazenby is Cave’s second loss of a child in recent years. Jethro Lazenby was 31 years old.

The Australian singer-songwriter confirmed his son's death in a statement on Monday.

In a 2017 interview with The Guardian, Cave said: “It’s hard to know what to say that is helpful. “A lot is said about grief, especially the conventional wisdom that you do it alone. The goodwill we received after Arthur’s death from people who I did not know, especially through social media, people who liked my music and kind of reached out, was extraordinary.”

Jethro Lazenby was jailed for violent assault on his mother last month and was reportedly only released a few days ago.

Jethro was jailed in April for violently assaulting his mother, Beau Lazenby, and was also convicted of attacking a girlfriend in 2018. Singer Nick Cave has said his son Jethro has died - just seven years after his teenage son Arthur was killed after falling off a cliff. Jethro Lazenby was jailed for violent assault on his mother last month and was reportedly only released a few days ago.

With much sadness, I can confirm that my son, Jethro, has passed away,” the Australian singer said in a statement.

“To my eternal regret, I didn’t make much contact with Jethro in the early years, but I now have a great relationship with him,” he said. The cause of Lazenby’s death is not known. In 2008, Cave told the Guardian about his relationship with his Melbourne-born son.

Jethro is the second son Nick Cave has tragically lost in the past seven years.

He drew them. He identified with them. He loved them. We both saw it, but said nothing, because even though we knew the sad significance of it, we were not about to belittle the enormity of the tragedy with some sentimental display of magical thinking. He constantly talked about them. "As we sat there, a ladybird landed on Susie's hand.

Lazenby died just days after he was released on bail from a Melbourne jail after admitting to attacking his mother, Beau Lazenby, last month. Upon his release, ...

To my eternal regret, I didn’t make much contact with Jethro in the early years, but I now have a great relationship with him.” ‘It didn’t start off that great, having all this shit with my dad and being in his shadow,” Lazenby added. The Independent also noted that at the time of his arrest in April, a representative for Lazenby said he’d been diagnosed with schizophrenia.

Despised the concept of the muse but was everybody's. Spoke in a child's voice and was my best friend. And of course, wanting to show Earl the best way I can survive this. Lane, a former girlfriend of Cave's and member of his bands The Bad Seeds and The Birthday Party, died in April 2021 aged 61. We had to keep it together for him and not let him feel scared he was losing his parents," she said. They were her pride and joy. Two months ago, speaking to her on the phone she seemed a million miles away. It was both easy and terrifying to love her. Drank gin out of a baby's bottle. "Brighton had just become too sad. He called her "the brains behind The Birthday Party," writing that "she was the smartest and most talented of all of us, by far". "I think he was with his brother and a friend at some point that day but I don't know whether he was with him at the time he fell," said Kimya Hajisaeagh, then 15. "It seemed to me that he was trapped somewhere and just needed to do something — anything — to at least give the impression of forward movement," the director said of Cave's decision to lay his grieving process bare for the world to see.

I remember a conversation I had with Nick Cave in Melbourne, 20-odd years ago. His twins had just been born and he'd begun what I perceived as a mellowing ...

It took a devastation to understand the idea of mortal value, and it took a devastation to find hope.” Hope. Art is the highest expression of it that we have, the German painter Gerhard Richter famously observed. “It took a devastation to teach me the preciousness of life and the essential goodness of people,” Nick wrote. In Red Hand missive #190, Nick responded to a Stockholm fan named Valerio who was succumbing to cynicism, losing his faith in goodness, and fearful of how that might infect his young son. The death of 31-year-old Jethro, from causes undisclosed, is the second such cruel loss that Cave and his family have faced in recent years. What good was art without the gravity, the cruelty, and the miracles of the lived experience that inspired it?

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australian singer-songwriter Nick Cave has confirmed the death of his son Jethro Lazenby at age 31.

Lazenby is survived by a younger half-brother, Luke Cave, who was also born in 1991. Lazenby told the London-based Evening Standard newspaper in 2012 that he was 7 or 8 when he first met his famous father. “But I now have a great relationship with him,” Cave said. He was released from a remand prison on strict bail conditions Thursday, the newspaper reported. A magistrate ordered him to undergo substance abuse treatment and to avoid contact with his mother for two years. He was to return to court in June to be sentenced for the assault and for stealing from a convenience store.

The musician holds the spotlight again in Andrew Dominik's followup documentary, with star-quality input from Warren Ellis and Marianne Faithfull.

Nevertheless, there is much to enjoy, not least for fans of Marianne Faithfull, here on delightfully cranky form when called upon to contribute vocals for a performance. He even jokes that recently he took the government’s advice to retrain during the pandemic and became a ceramicist, specialising in mock-Meissen figurines showing the devil at various stages of a melancholy life, several of which enigmatically involved sailors. At that point, Cave seemed to have healed at least a little, finding comfort not just in music and making, but also in listening to others’ pain.

The evolution of Nick Cave inscribes an incredible arc, from the punkie-junkie prince of Melbourne pub noise in the 1970s, to the man who tells Andrew Dominik ...

Some will long for the days of short, sharp and violent Cave, the baddest of the bad seeds, but this new Cave is like a messenger from a higher place in the tower of song. Ellis seems to live out there anyway; Cave is keen to visit and find the beauty. What floored me about the film is that it very quickly becomes a holy affair, something Dominik is quick to recognise and develop. Cave is a very self-aware kind of artist. A bit like Cave himself, whose presentation of a lyric often seems to hold within it a mocking self-critique. Ellis is an accomplished composer and multi-instrumentalist, and a major geek.
