The prolific Oscar-winning composer has released a statement detailing his utter devastation over his eldest son's hospitalization due to gastric cancer.
His statement to the media reads: "I am absolutely devastated to say that my eldest son Nick is critically ill. As my friends and family know, he has been fighting gastric cancer for the last 18 months and Nick is now hospitalized.”
"I therefore have not been able to attend the recent previews of Bad Cinderella and as things stand, I will not be able to cheer on its wonderful cast, crew, and orchestra on opening night this Thursday.”
"We are all praying that Nick will turn the corner. He is bravely fighting with his indomitable humour, but at the moment my place is with him and the family."
As stated Lord Lloyd Webber will miss the opening of Bad Cinderella at New York's Imperial Theatre.
Nicholas Lloyd Webber, 43, is best known for scoring the BBC One drama Love, Lies And Records and a theatrical and symphonic version of The Little Prince. He was nominated for a Grammy alongside his father for a musical theatre album for Lord Lloyd-Webber's Cinderella.
