Nick Cave and model wife Susie paid tribute to their son, saying in a statement that "he was our beautiful, happy, loving boy."

Nick Cave has three other sons, including Arthur's twin brother, Earl.

The Australian-born musician is perhaps best-known for his eponymous group, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. He has also written several novels and screenplays.
