Nick Cave has shared a new response on his Q+A site The Red Hand Files about receiving support from fans following the death of his son Jethro Lazenby, saying that the "letters are a great source of comfort."

Earlier this month Cave revealed that Jethro Lazenby, also known as Jethro Cave, had died. Jethro Lazenby's death came just seven years after Cave lost his 15-year-old son Arthur.

Cave has since shared a new post on his Q+A site The Red Hand Files, and it sees him respond to a fan sending "heartfelt condolences" about Jethro's passing. Cave wrote, "Thank you for your letter. Many others have written to me about Jethro, sending condolences and kind words. These letters are a great source of comfort and I’d like to thank all of you for your support."

He added, "I’ll be back to The Red Hand Files in a few weeks."

Earlier this month Cave made an appearance on Party Dozen's "Macca The Mutt" single.
