NEW YORK — Nicholas Lloyd Webber, the Grammy-nominated composer, record producer and eldest son of Andrew Lloyd Webber, died in England on Saturday after a protracted battle with stomach cancer and pneumonia. He was 43.
“His entire family is gathered and we are all utterly bereft,” Lloyd Webber, 75, said in a statement emailed by a representative. “Thank you for all your thoughts during this difficult time.”
Nicholas died in a hospital in the south-central England town of Basingstoke, his father said. Lloyd Webber, the famous composer, missed the Broadway premiere of his “Bad Cinderella” on Thursday to be by his son’s side with other loved ones.
Nicholas is best known for his work on BBC One’s Love, Lies and Records, based on the book The Little Prince. He also worked on his father’s 2021 “Cinderella” and received a Grammy nomination for Best Musical Theater Album.
Nicholas is Lloyd Webber’s son with his first wife Sarah Hugill. Hugill and Lloyd Webber also have an older daughter, Imogen. Senior Lloyd Webber has three other children in addition to Nicholas and Imogen.
