Musician Nick Cave has opened up about the profound impact of losing his two sons, Arthur and Jethro, in recent years. Arthur died in 2015 at age 15 after falling from a cliff while under the influence of LSD, and Jethro passed away in 2022 at age 31 following a struggle with schizophrenia and drug addiction. In interviews, Cave revealed that these tragedies have shifted his priorities, leading him to place less importance on art and more on his roles as a father, husband, and grandfather. He admitted to feelings of culpability and discussed how public grieving helped him cope. Cave emphasized that these experiences of loss, while deeply painful, have connected him more deeply to others.
