Nicholas Lloyd Webber, son of famed composer, dies at 43

NEW YORK (AP) – Nicholas Lloyd Webber, the Grammy-nominated musician, record producer and eldest son of Andrew Lloyd Webber, died Saturday in England after a long battle with gastric cancer and pneumonia. He was 43 years old.

“His entire family has gathered together and we are all completely heartbroken,” Weber, 75, said in a statement emailed by a representative. “Thank you for all your thoughts during this difficult time.”

His father said Nicholas died at a hospital in the south-central English city of Basingstoke. Weber, the famed composer, missed the Broadway opening of his “Bad Cinderella” Thursday to be with his son, among other loved ones.

Nicholas is best known for his work on BBC One’s “Love, Lies and Records”, which was based on the book “The Little Prince”. He also worked on his father’s 2021 “Cinderella,” earning a Grammy nod for best musical theater album.

Nicholas is the son of Weber’s first wife, Sarah Hugill, who is also the mother of his older sister, Imogen. The senior Weber has four other children.
