Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Son, Nicholas, Passes Away Tragically

Nick Lloyd Webber, son of the renowned and knighted Andrew Lloyd Webber, was no stranger to the pressure of living up to his family’s reputation. When his composition for the “Love, Lies, and Records” series was released, Nick admitted in a 2011 interview with The Telegraph that he was aware of the scrutiny he was under. He said, “For a long time, I dropped the Lloyd bit — to see what the reaction would be. I got some stuff on the radio, so I thought, ‘Okay, I’m obviously not a complete idiot.’ Then I thought, ‘Hang on, if other people are prepared to work with me without the surname, then maybe I should just get on with it.'” Nick was not only talented, but also dearly loved by his family. His sister Imogen posted a sweet childhood photo of them in matching “Cats” t-shirts just days before his death. She wrote that she honored Nick’s request of taking a break from visiting him to be at “Bad Cinderella,” saying, “We’ve always supported Dad and his shows, albeit from this pic on wearing slightly more clothes. Will be back giving Nick a hug again soon.” We offer our condolences to Nick’s family.
