has revealed his where he is ‘battling’ his gastric .
The Oscar-winning composer, who wrote the music for hit shows like Cats, The Phantom Of The Opera and Jesus Christ Superstar, said his son is ‘over the worst of this first bout of pneumonia”.
The 75-year-old said, according to PA News Agency: ‘We’re all here and the family here has gathered around, it was the right place for us all to be I think.’
He previously revealed 43-year-old Nick, who is also a composer, was ‘critically ill’ as a result of his ‘ghastly’ cancer.
Lord Lloyd Webber announced in a statement earlier this month: ‘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 hospitalised.’
The doting dad went on: ‘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.’
Nick was also nominated for a Grammy for musical theatre album alongside his father, Greg Wells and David Zippel for Lord Lloyd-Webber’s Cinderella.
He is best known for scoring the drama series Love, Lies and Records and 2021 movie The Last Bus, and he co-produced and mixed the original 2021 London cast album for Cinderella, the previous title for Bad Cinderella.
Andrew has son Nicholas and daughter Imogen with first wife Sarah Hugill, and has three children with his wife Madeleine Gurdon.
