Nick Cave makes a rare outing with his glamorous wife Susie at GQ Awards in London... after vowing to leave the UK following their son Arthur's fatal LSD-fuelled clifftop fall
They met at a fashion show at London's Natural History Museum in 1997 and tied the knot two years later.
And Nick Cave and his wife Susie Bick looked as strong as ever on Tuesday night, as they attended the GQ Men Of The Year Awards at the Tate Modern in London.
The acclaimed 59-year-old Australian musician, who scooped a prize on the night, looked dapper in a black suit as he wrapped an arm around his model partner.

The Bad Seeds frontman's return saw him sporting his signature slicked raven hair and sharp black suit, which he paired with a simple white shirt.
Meanwhile, Susie looked glamorous in a decadent purple satin gown, which featured a Victoriana-inspired high collar and romantic pleats.
It was a triumphant night for his band Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds as they were handed the band of the year gong by Courtney Love.

Their outing comes two years after the tragic passing of their 15-year-old son Arthur, who died from an LSD-fuelled clifftop fall in July 2015.
In May, Nick moved with Earl and model wife from Brighton to the self-described 'blank-slate' of Los Angeles.
'When I go out in Brighton these days, there's a sort of feeling that we're all in this together. And it's just a little bit too intense for me,' he told GQ of the move recently.
'It's too many memories, really. We've really tried. But it's just beyond us, in a way, to remain.'

In 2015 Arthur died after taking hallucinogenic drugs and stumbling off a cliff top near his home, plummeting 60ft to the ground.
He had taken around three LSD tablets with a friend but had become disorientated and confused.
Last year, Nick spoke about his grief over the tragic loss of his son.

In a haunting trailer for a film that launched band's last album, called One More Time With Feeling, he said:
'What happens when an event occurs that is so catastrophic you just change. You change from the known person, to an unknown person.
'So that when you look at yourself in the mirror, do you recognise the person that you were but the person inside the skin is a different person.'
