Australian Story to return with ‘extraordinary conversation’ with Nick Cave

Australian Story will return to the ABC next Monday with what Leigh Sales dubs “an extraordinary conversation” with Nick Cave.

During the “wide-ranging and deeply personal conversation”, Cave “looks back over more than four decades as a performer and songwriter and explains how the death of his son in an accidental fall nine years ago changed the course of his life, bringing him closer to his fans and deepening a life-long interest in religion,” according to the ABC synopsis.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds are set to release their 18th studio album — and first in five years — Wild God, on August 30.
