Nicholas Lloyd Webber, the Grammy-nominated composer, record producer and eldest son of Andrew Lloyd Webber, died Saturday in England after a long battle with stomach cancer and pneumonia. He was 43 years old.
“His whole family is together and we are all completely disenfranchised,” Weber, 75, said in a statement emailed by a representative to CBS News. “Thank you for all of your thoughts during this difficult time.”
His father said Nicholas died in a hospital in Basingstoke, south-central England. Weber, the famous composer, missed Thursday’s Broadway opening of “Bad Cinderella” to be by his son’s side with other loved ones.
