Nick Cave addresses the death of his son for the first time in a new trailer for his forthcoming documentary, One More Time With Feeling. Watch it below.
The singer’s 15-year-old son Arthur died last summer when he fell from a cliff in Brighton. It was later revealed that he died from 'multiple traumatic injuries’, and had taken LSD beforehand.
In a statement at the time, Cave and wife Susie Bick said, "Our son Arthur died on Tuesday evening. He was our beautiful, happy loving boy. We ask that we be given the privacy our family needs to grieve at this difficult time."
Now, in the new trailer for documentary One More Time With Feeling - which is being released alongside Cave’s new album, Skeleton Tree - he discusses the tragedy for the first time.
“Most of us don't want to change really," he says in a voiceover. "But what happens when an event occurs that is so catastrophic that you just change?"
"You change from a known person to an unknown person. So that when you look at yourself in the mirror, do you recognize the person that you were?"
One More Time With Feeling, which was directed by Andrew Dominik and will screen in more than 650 cinemas worldwide on 8 September. Skeleton Tree will be released the following day.
