Slash, one of rock’s most legendary guitarists and a member of Guns N’ Roses, has recently faced heartbreaking news. His stepdaughter, Lucy-Bleu Knight, has tragically passed away at the age of 25. The musician shared a heartfelt statement regarding her death.
"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, and stepsister to London and Cash Hudson, peacefully passed away in Los Angeles, CA, on July 19, 2024," began the announcement, which was accompanied by a photograph of the young woman.
"Lucy-Bleu was an incredibly talented artist, a passionate dreamer, and a sweet, charming soul. The family asks for privacy during this difficult time and requests that speculation on social media is kept to a minimum as they mourn and process this devastating loss." The cause of Lucy-Bleu’s death has not been disclosed, but as mentioned in Slash’s statement, the family wishes to keep that information private.
Devastated by the loss of his stepdaughter, who is the daughter of his longtime partner, Meegan Hodges, Slash has canceled four dates on his solo tour to come to terms with this tragedy. "Due to unforeseen circumstances, the S.E.R.P.E.N.T tour must unfortunately cancel the following dates. Refunds will be available at points of purchase," the statement read. However, Slash confirmed that the tour will resume on July 28, 2024, at the Budweiser Stage in Toronto, Canada. "We love our fans and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused," he added.
The death of his stepdaughter coincides with a personal milestone for the musician, as he celebrates his 59th birthday today, amidst a very challenging time. Fans of Slash expressed their condolences and offered support to the family. Meegan Hodges, the mother of Lucy-Bleu, and Scarlet, the deceased’s sister, could only add a simple yet heartfelt message alongside Slash’s words: "I love you." Slash’s relationship with Hodges began in 1989, but after a period of separation, the couple rekindled their romance in 2015. Previously, Slash was married to model and actress Renée Suran from 1992 to 1997, and later married Perla Ferrar in 2001, with whom he has two children, London and Cash, before divorcing in 2014.
In this moment of deep sorrow, the music community unites to remember Lucy-Bleu and support those left behind.
