‘My beloved eldest son died a few hours ago’: Andrew Lloyd Webber shaken by tragedy March 26, 2023, 08:55

The most commercially successful composer in history spoke about the tragedy. His Grammy-nominated son died in hospice. “I am shocked to announce that my beloved eldest son Nick passed away a few hours ago in Basingstoke Hospital. The whole family has come together and we are completely devastated,” Andrew Lloyd said in a statement.

Recently, the creator of Phantom of the Opera announced that his son is seriously ill and his condition is critical. Due to health problems with his son, the composer was forced to miss the premiere of his musical “Bad Cinderella” on Broadway.

Webber said that his son had pneumonia on the background of oncology, whose latest attack turned out to be incredibly strong. In the middle of the month, the composer’s son was transferred to a hospice.

Nick is the eldest son of Andrew Lloyd. His mother is the composer’s first wife, Sarah Hugil. In total, the Oscar and Grammy award winners have four children. Nick followed in his father’s footsteps: he also became a composer and also worked as a producer.

The compositions of the legendary musician will be heard at the coronation of Charles III. The event will take place in May.
