“I don’t have a question for you today. I just wanted to offer my sincerest condolences on the tragic loss of Jethro,” wrote a fan named Teresa, That reports Rolling Stone.

“All I can do is offer the collective love to all who read your letters.”

Cave responded to her, saying, “Thanks for your letter. Many others have written to me about Jethro, condolences and kind words. These letters are a great source of comfort and I want to thank you all for your support.’

Cave added that he would be coming back to the platform in a few weeks and shared a childhood photo of Jethro.

“It is with great sadness that I can confirm that my son, Jethro, has passed away,” the Cave announced at the time. “We would be grateful for the family’s privacy at this time.”

At the time of his death, a judge had ordered Jethro to attend a drug treatment program and to stay away from his mother for two years, The Metro reports.

Jethro had previously enjoyed a successful career as a model and had acted under the stage name Jethro Cave.

His death occurred seven years after Cave’s son Arthur, 15, died from a fall from a cliff in Brighton.
