Singer and writer Nick Cave says the death of his two sons made him realise that art was not everything, and that responsibility to his wife and family now drive him.

The Australian musician told BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs that his wife and family are now the source of his creativity, and where he finds his joy.

"It's difficult to exaggerate how beautiful this is that I have a little grandson, who's like seven months old," he told the show.

Cave's 15-year-old son Arthur died in Brighton in a cliff-jumping accident in 2015 and his eldest son Jethro died aged 31 in Melbourne in 2022.

The frontman of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, 67, told host Lauren Laverne of his changing attitude: "It has a lot to do with Arthur and Jethro... I always just thought art was, kind of at the end of the day, everything.

"I mean, it's a terrible thing to say, but it was, it was always there. It was always reliable."
