I have grown a little bored of NC and the Bad Seeds over the last few years but the old classics still always work their magic...

He's very worthy and all that but I grew bored of him about 35 years ago.
The only thing by him I recall liking was this one.

Loved everything up to and including Murder Ballads. After that he went into piano balladeer mode and everything became rather samey. Still does the odd great thing like
Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus but can't get on with the middle class dinner party background music that makes up most of his releases now.

Amazingly Nick Cave got an invite to the coronation www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/a43521581/king-charles-coronation-guest-list/^ Look under Celebrities where it states...

Those confirmed include: Bear Grylls, in his capacity as Chief Scout Stella McCartney Joanna Lumley (after, she will join Sky News for their coverage) Rowan Atkinson Nick Cave Sam Kerr (will carry Australia's flag) Weird or what EDIT: Turns out he's there representing Australia - one of 14 impressive Australians chosen to represent the country as part of a delegation Disappointed he hasn't told them to stick it

I looked up the Australian contingent and Cave is the only name I recognise. Seems to be the only muso amongst them. I think he is pretty much part of the establishment, so I am not surprised.
They should have sent Ed Kuepper instead. He's got a back catalogue that includes a few 'royal' titles. He could have played a few songs from the Throne of Blood/ Reign of Terror LP, for example
Or he could do 'Also Sprach the King of Euro Disco'. Suit Charles to a tee

From Nick's Red Right Hand email...Why the fuck are you going to the King's coronation?JON, BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA I see that you will be attending the coronation as part of the Australian delegation. Are you a Monarchist? Why go?ADRIAN, CAMPERDOWN, AUSTRALIA The coronation. Seriously?ROGER, MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA Nick Cave going to the coronation??! What would the young Nick Cave have thought of that?!MATT, LEEDS, UK Dear Jon, Adrian, Roger and Matt, I’ll make this a quick one because I’ve got to work out what I am going to wear to the Coronation. I am not a monarchist, nor am I a royalist, nor am I an ardent republican for that matter; what I am also not is so spectacularly incurious about the world and the way it works, so ideologically captured, so damn grouchy, as to refuse an invitation to what will more than likely be the most important historical event in the UK of our age. Not just the most important, but the strangest, the weirdest. I once met the late Queen at an event at Buckingham Palace for ‘Aspirational Australians living in the UK’ (or something like that). It was a mostly awkward affair, but the Queen herself, dressed in a salmon coloured twin-set, seemed almost extraterrestrial and was the most charismatic woman I have ever met. Maybe it was the lighting, but she actually glowed. As I told my mother – who was the same age as the Queen and, like the Queen, died in her nineties – about that day, her old eyes filled with tears. When I watched the Queen’s funeral on the television last year I found, to my bafflement, that I was weeping myself as the coffin was stripped of the crown, orb and sceptre and lowered through the floor of St. George’s Chapel. I guess what I am trying to say is that, beyond the interminable but necessary debates about the abolition of the monarchy, I hold an inexplicable emotional attachment to the Royals – the strangeness of them, the deeply eccentric nature of the whole affair that so perfectly reflects the unique weirdness of Britain itself. I’m just drawn to that kind of thing – the bizarre, the uncanny, the stupefyingly spectacular, the awe-inspiring. And as for what the young Nick Cave would have thought – well, the young Nick Cave was, in all due respect to the young Nick Cave, young, and like many young people, mostly demented, so I’m a little cautious around using him as a benchmark for what I should or should not do. He was cute though, I’ll give him that. Deranged, but cute. So, with all that in mind, I am looking forward to going the Coronation. I think I’ll wear a suit. Love, Nick

Fair play to him I can kind of identify with those sentiments.

For some reason, in Australian coverage of Cave's attendance, they keep referring to him as the Prince of Darkness. I think he would have enjoyed all the archaic pageantry and religious symbolism. That sort of stuff certainly informed a lot of his writing for the Bad Seeds.
Meanwhile, a more sinister figure was spotted at the ceremony:
