NEW YORK — Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber announced Saturday that his son Nick lost his 18-month battle with gastric cancer.
“I am shattered to have to announce that my beloved elder son Nick died a few hours ago in Basingstoke Hospital,” Webber said in a statement shared with the Daily News. “His whole family is gathered together and we are all totally bereft. Thank you for all your thoughts during this difficult time.”
News of Nick’s death came just two days after he had been moved into hospice care while suffering from pneumonia brought on by his cancer.
