Nick Cave says that he was “an incomplete or unformed human being” with a narrow worldview prior to the death of his teenage son. The Bad Seeds musician said writing in his upcoming memoir about the tragic incident had helped “strengthen his faith”.
Arthur Cave died in 2015 at the age of 15, after falling off a cliff in Ovingdean, near Brighton, reports Sussex Live. The Australian singer-songwriter spoke to Newsnight about his memoir, Faith, Hope and Carnage.
Asked if Arthur’s death had strengthened his faith, Cave replied: “Yeah, I think a lot of things happened. I think the writing of the book, weirdly enough, did that. The book itself starts with a kind of nervousness around questions of faith and ends more firm about those sorts of things.”
