Arthur Cave, 15, was found with life threatening injuries by members of the public at the bottom of the cliff at Ovingdean Gap on Tuesday evening and he later died in the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton.

His death is not being treated as suspicious.

The Bad Seeds singer and his wife Susie Bick, who live in East Sussex, issued a statement to Independent.co.uk, calling their son a "beautiful, happy loving boy" and adding, "We ask that we be given the privacy our family needs to grieve at this difficult time."

Arthur had a twin brother named Earl.
