The Guns N’ Roses guitarist asked for “privacy” and that “social media speculation be kept to a minimum” as they “grieve and process this devastating loss.”
Knight was the daughter of Slash’s longtime partner, Meegan Hodges, and her ex, Mark Knight. Slash first dated Hodges in 1989 and they rekindled their relationship in 2015.
Three hours after the rocker shared the tragic news of Knight’s death, a selfie of the 25-year-old was posted to her social media with a cryptic message.
In the photo, Knight, wearing glasses and two necklaces, stared away from the camera with a serious look on her face.

“Whether I made you feel excluded, manipulated/ controlled you, told you to quit your day job from the comfort of being financially supported by my parents, or drowned real issues in toxic positivity-I am sorry,” the caption began.
“Countless missed opportunities and connections due to a disgustingly big ego, insecure heart and fear of being vulnerable,” the message added. “May my soul learn to evolve from my poor job at being Lucy-Bleu. Peace🌷.
