Nick Cave has marked his 69th birthday by collaborating with animal rights charity PETA on an exclusive merchandise range. All proceeds from the collection will support PETA's work, continuing Cave's long-standing commitment to the organisation. The partnership demonstrates his broader advocacy for animal welfare and empathy.

Cave created original animal illustrations for the range, including a striking drawing of a dog and rat featured on T-shirts, tote bags and tapestries alongside PETA's motto 'Every Animal Is Someone'. The merchandise is available now through the PETA Shop in the US and UK. This builds on Cave's previous support for PETA, including his 2017 permission for the charity to use his song 'Breathless' in a campaign featuring Iggy Pop. The collaboration arrives as Cave takes time away from touring after a busy summer schedule with The Bad Seeds, culminating in an emotional sold-out homecoming performance at Preston Park in Brighton.
