credited with the drums on Toni Basil's Mickey

well at least we still have Jean Shrimpton, icon of Swinging London

but I think he's the only Tap drummer to make it past 40, so there is that

Kenneth Welsh, Twin Peaks and The Day After Tomorrow actor, dies at 80

Welsh appeared in dozens of Canadian and American movies and shows, including The X-Files, Due South, and Lodge 49.

and talk about a modern family… he was born 10 days before Cave's second son Luke to and didn't me his father until he was 7 or 8…  sounds like he led a trouble life just coming out of jail for attacking his mother and previously a girlfriend…

I read he was diagnosed with schizophrenia…so that rarely ends well.  Especially if layer that with drug abuse
I did read that Nick was absent for most of his early youth, but somewhat mended thing up as he got older, but who knows

all of the above is corroborated here:

Jethro Lazenby, son of Nick Cave, dies aged 31
The fashion model had recently been released from jail in Australia, after being convicted of assault against his mother
