Their twin sons, Arthur and Earl, were born in London in 2000 and raised in Brighton.

In 2014, Cave co-founded the fashion label The Vampire's Wife with Alex Adamson.

Their 'Falconetti' dress was deemed the "dress of the decade" by Vogue.

The Vampire's Wife has been described as a "cult favourite" label.

An inquest found that Arthur had taken LSD before the fall and the coroner ruled his death was an accident.

The effect of Arthur's death on the Cave family was explored in the 2016 documentary film One More Time with Feeling.
