Monday 9 May 2022 07:50 PM How Nick Cave's tragic son Jethro was born just 10 days before the singer's ... trends now
Nick Cave's eldest son Jethro Lazenby has died aged 30, and is musician's second son to have died, following his 'strained' relationship with his father, and poor mental health.
It comes seven years after the star's 15-year-old son Arthur fell to his death from a cliff in Brighton.
Jethro was born to his Melbourne-based model mother Beau Lazenby in 1991, just 10 days before Cave's second son Luke was born.
His mother, Beau, was in a relationship with Cave at the time. And he himself largely worked as a model, while also taking on a number of acting roles.

Nick Cave today confirmed the death of his son, Jethro Lazenby, who he is seen with in 2006. He said: 'With much sadness, I can confirm that my son, Jethro, has passed away. We would be grateful for family privacy at this time'
Despite using his father's name to drive his own modelling career, Jethro, who lived in Melbourne, has said in the past he didn't meet Cave until he was seven.
In 2012, Lazenby told the Evening Standard that his relationship with his father was strained, and that he did not meet his father until be was 'about seven, eight' years old.
During his modelling career, Jethro moved to the UK and worked for Balenciaga and and Versace, before moving back to Australia.
Jethro had roles in 2007 film Corroboree and 2011's My Little Princess — starring Isabelle Huppert — but suffered from personal problems for some years after struggling with his mental health.
