Slash posted a heartbreaking tribute to his late stepdaughter Lucy Bleu-Knight, 25, who died in Los Angeles on July 19 of undisclosed causes. The Guns N' Roses guitarist and solo star wrote of his anguish over the loss of the artist along with a moody photo of Knight looking into the camera.
“My heart is permanently broken. I will never stop missing you and remembering what a beacon of happiness, laughter, creativity and beauty you always were. & still is,” Slash wrote. “The brightest light in the lives of so many who loved you so much. I take comfort in the hope that you are at peace now. I will love you forever. #LBK”
On July 22, Slash announced that Knight — the daughter of longtime love guitarist Meegan Hodges and her ex, Mark Knight — had died. The cause of death has not yet been released by the LA medical examiner's office postponing the announcement as it completes additional tests. In his original post, Slash called Knight “an incredibly talented artist, a passionate dreamer, and a charming, lovable, sweet soul,” noting that she “passed away peacefully.”
Slash's latest tribute drew letters of support and condolences from some of his fellow musicians, including Lenny Kravitz, who wrote: “My deepest condolences bro. And yes, it still is! Love in the family,” with Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello adding, “Oh, I'm so sorry man. Love to you and your family.” Others who offered kind words included former Megadeth bassist David Ellefson, skateboarder Christian Hosoi, former Headbangers Ball host Riki Rachtman, actor Jason Momoa and Fergie, among others.
Hours before announcing Knight's death, Slash announced the cancellation of four dates on his SERPENT tour, “due to unforeseen circumstances.” Starting Sunday (July 28), the traveling blues festival resumed with a show in Toronto and another coming Tuesday (July 30) in Lewiston, New York
