Nicholas Lloyd Webber, son of Andrew Lloyd Webber, died March 25 in Basingstoke, England, after an 18-month battle with stomach cancer. He was 43.
The theater composer announced the news of his son’s death on Saturday.
“I am devastated to report that my beloved older son Nick passed away a few hours ago in Basingstoke Hospital,” the statement said. “His whole family is gathered and we are all completely bereft. Thank you for all your thoughts during this difficult time.”
Nicholas was admitted to a hospice on March 23 after being diagnosed with pneumonia following his cancer diagnosis. Andrew announced via an Instagram video that his son was seeking further treatment.
“I want to thank you for spreading messages of support for my son Nick. He has now been transferred to a hospice and is fighting his way through.” Andreas said at the time. “I think he’s gotten through the worst of that first pneumonia he got as a result of his cancer, which is just awful. We are all here and the family has gathered here and I think it was the right place for all of us.”
Born on July 2, 1979, Nicholas Lloyd Webber followed in his father’s and grandfather’s footsteps to become a Grammy-nominated composer and record producer. Nick has worked on feature films, short films, television and theater projects.
Father and son last worked together on the original cast album Bad Cinderella in 2021. The musical is now being produced on Broadway under the title Bad Cinderella.
Nicholas was recognized for composing BBC 1’s Love, Lies and Records and for the 2017 stage production Fat Friends: The Musical.
He is survived by his father and his wife, Polly Wiltshire.
