Jethro Lazenby: Who Was Nick Cave’s Son?

Jethro Lazenby was the oldest son of Australian singer, songwriter, author, screenwriter, composer and occasional actor Nick Cave.

Lazenby was born in Melbourne in 1991.

Lazenby started modelling after being scouted in the city and had acting roles in the 2007 film Corroboree and 2011’s My Little Princess, which starred Isabelle Huppert.

Lazenby’s most recent work was as a photographer.

Lazenby had a hard time staying away from trouble and he had only been released on bail from Melbourne Remand Centre last Thursday, 5 May, after a magistrate instructed that he must undergo substance abuse treatment and avoid contact with his mother Beau for the next two years.

Previously, a court had heard how Beau found her son Jethro at her front door on 7 March, 2022, and let him stay for the night.

The following morning, Jethro and his mum had an argument and it led to Jethro kneeing her in the face, leaving her bleeding and badly injured.

Lazenby’s mom fled to a local pub and asked them to call the police, the court was told.

Lazenby’s lawyer, Sean Ghattas, however, explained that Lazenby had been diagnosed with schizophrenia, which had affected his judgement.

Sadly, Jethro Lazenby died on May 9, 2022 at the age of 31.

Jethro Lazenby’s passing was announced by his dad Nick Cave.
