Oooh dear, it looks like Australian music legend and goth overlord Nick Cave forgot to release the brakes, because he and his sons were put at the mercy of their car seats last night when he crashed his Jaguar into a speed camera near his home in Hove, near Brighton on the English south coast. No doubt reconsidering his claim to not believe in an interventionist god, no-one was injured in the crash and although police are investigating, no charges have been laid. The Bad Seeds and Grinderman front man is due in Australia next month to play the Big Day Out with Grinderman, and also these select sideshows.
