Master of musicals and EGOT winner Andrew Lloyd Webber revealed over the weekend that his son Nicholas Lloyd Webber, 43, has been hospitalized after battling stomach cancer for more than a year.
The 74-year-old composer behind the smash Broadway musicals "Cats," "Evita" and "The Phantom of the Opera" said that he is "absolutely devastated" to say that his eldest son is "critically ill," according to a statement obtained Saturday by Playbill.
"As my friends and family know, he has been fighting gastric cancer for the last 18 months and Nick is now hospitalized," the father of five said.
