The 15-year-old son of Australian rocker Nick Cave died Tuesday night, reported the Guardian. Arthur Cave suffered a tragic death after falling off a 60-foot chalk cliff in Brighton, England.
"Our son Arthur died on Tuesday evening. He was our beautiful, happy, loving boy," said Nick in a statement. "We ask that we be given the privacy our family needs to grieve at this difficult time."
Arthur's injured body was found at the bottom of a chalk cliff by people walking by the seaside path at the bottom of the Ovingdean Gap. They attempted to revive the boy while help was being sought. His body was airlifted to the Royal Sussex county hospital where he died from his injuries, according to a statement from a Sussex Police spokeswoman. The death is not being treated as suspicious.
Nick and his wife, Susie Bick, were photographed at the site of the tragic fall, according to the Mirror. The musician has four sons, two from previous relationships, and twin boys, Arthur and Earl, with Bick.
Nick, 57, is known as the lead singer of the '80s alt-rock band Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. He married Bick in 1999 and she gave birth to their twin sons the following year.
Arthur and Earl appeared alongside their rocker dad in the film "20,000 Days On Earth," a semi-fictional documentary about the Bad Seeds front man, according to Rolling Stone.
