Slash Shares Heartbreaking Personal News

Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash has been busy in recent months following the release of his critically-acclaimed all-star blues album, “Orgy of the Damned.” The record, which came out on May 17, featured guest appearances from AC/DC’s Brian Johnson, Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler, ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons, Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson as well as Chris Stapleton and Demi Lovato, among others.

Sadly, Slash recently had to cancel four solo tour dates following the tragic passing of his stepdaughter, Lucy-Bleu Knight, who was only 25 years old.

“Lucy-Bleu Knight (December 6, 1998), beloved daughter of Meegan Hodges and Mark Knight, stepdaughter of Samantha Somers Knight and Slash, sister of Scarlet Knight, stepsister of London and Cash Hudson, passed away peacefully in Los Angeles, CA on July 19, 2024,” read a statement via Slash’s social media.

“Lucy-Bleu was an incredibly talented artist, a passionate dreamer, and a charming, lovable, sweet soul. The family asks for privacy at this time and requests that social media speculation be kept to a minimum as they grieve and process this devastating loss.”

According to The Daily Mail : “Lucy boasted 35,000 followers on Instagram and reportedly worked at Electric Lady Management, the talent arm of the recording studio. Three hours after Slash posted the announcement, a selfie of Lucy alongside a caption was shared on her Instagram which read: ‘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. Countless missed opportunities and connections due to a disgustingly big ego, insecure heart and fear of being vulnerable. May my soul learn to evolve from my poor job at being Lucy-Bleu. Peace.’”
