Andrew Lloyd Webber has opened up about his last moments with his eldest son Nick, who died last month aged 43.
Last month, the 75-year-old composer announced that Nick had died after being diagnosed with gastric cancer.
“I am shattered to have to announce that my beloved elder son Nick died a few hours ago in Basingstoke Hospital,” Lloyd-Webber wrote in a brief statement.
