Nick Cave announces death of son, Jethro, aged 30 (BBC News)

The musician issued a brief statement asking for privacy after his son, a model and actor, dies.

Jethro Lazenby was born in Melbourne in 1991 and only learnt that Cave was his father at the age of eight. Cave later wrote about the "vastness" of his grief, and said he felt Arthur with him all the time. Lazenby, who worked as an actor and model, had recently been jailed for a violent attack on his mother, Beau Lazenby, at her home in Melbourne, Australia.

Jethro Lazenby, son of Nick Cave, dies aged 31. The fashion model had recently been released from jail in Australia, after being convicted of assault against his mother.

In April, he was found guilty of unlawful assault, after he physically attacked his mother in March. His lawyer announced that he had been diagnosed with schizophrenia. “It was a difficult time, but it turned out great in the end,” Nick told a journalist in 2008. “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.” Jethro said in a 2012 interview: “It didn’t start off that great, having all this shit with my dad and being in his shadow.”

Nick Cave's son has died aged 30 – just seven years after his 15-year-old half-brother tragically died in a cliff fall.

A third wrote: “My God, how much can one family endure? However, they later returned to Brighton. My heart breaks for them. One said: “I can’t conceive of a person who maintains such faith in the world in the face of such personal tragedies. Jethro, who was born to model Beau Lazenby and Cave in 1991, had faced personal problems for some years after struggling with his mental health. The teen, who was the son of Cave and wife Susie, had plunged 18 metres to his death after taking the hallucinogenic drug LSD, an inquest later heard.

Tragedy after Nick Cave's second son dies (NEWS.com.au)

Legendary Australian musician Nick Cave has again been struck by a family tragedy, with his son Jethro dying just days after his release from prison.

“I’ve always wanted to make beautiful things, but at the same time it’s about not wanting to be a victim of what happened to Arthur, not wanting to be paralysed for the rest of my life. And of course wanting to show Earl the best way I can survive this. Despised the concept of the muse but was everybody’s. Spoke in a child’s voice and was my best friend. 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. They were her pride and joy. Two months ago, speaking to her on the phone she seemed a million miles away.

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?

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's changed incredibly, from the guy on the couch to who he is today." Looking remarkably well-preserved, Cave is more holistic about his place in the world. This Much I Know to Be True showcases Cave's most recent music (2019 Bad Seeds record Ghosteen and Cave and Ellis's 2021 album Carnage), which is carefully rehearsed, performed and expounded upon in the film. "And then Nick just asked me [to film]. He just needed to do something during the pandemic, basically. Not that any of the key players have had much time to pause between gigs.

This Much I Know to Be True review – Nick Cave on music, art and ... (The Guardian)

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 astonishing film that might make you rethink Nick Cave (The Sydney Morning Herald)

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.

“They make it look easy, and maybe it is for them, but it can’t be like that for everyone. What’s incredible about them is the courage that they have creatively to put themselves in situations of complete vulnerability – where they don’t know if what they’re doing is any good. This film really is positive and shows that Nick really has learned something and has something to pass on; as someone who has been struck by lightning. “They’d literally just made ‘CARNAGE’, just a couple of weeks before I went over there and shot it. “He reads every question that comes into The Red Hand Files, then he picks out whichever ones speak to him more. I think Nick was just at home, bored, thinking, ‘Let’s get together and have a play-date’.” The Nick from One More Time With Feeling wouldn’t believe that the Nick from This Much I Know To Be True was possible. In that respect, this film is good for you.” I understood what he meant, so his idea was to make a film.” Dominik and Cave became friends through talking on the phone before later working together, before Deanna introduced him to Ellis in the ’90s backstage at a Dirty Three concert. He continued: “Initially he just wanted to make a performance film, but he knew that it needed to be addresses at some point for context – but how do you do that without it seeming like exploitation? “It was at a drug dealers’ when I was just an innocent little private schoolboy,” he said.

What goes on in the off-concert time of the film is as warm, glowing, haunted, and filled with an inner light as is their live sequences of soul-stirring songs such as “Lavender Fields” and “Ghosteen Speaks.” And his response has been to become incredibly responsible for the people around him.”— Andrew Dominik
