Musician Nick Cave has paid tribute to his teenage son who died after falling from a cliff.
Arthur Cave was found in the Brighton area on Tuesday at 6pm, Sussex Police said.
The 15-year-old had suffered life-threatening injuries and was taken to hospital but died later that evening.
No right to appropriate the grief of a stranger with such familiarity but oh, how my heart aches for Nick Cave & Susie & Earl at their loss.
