Renowned guitarist Slash is facing a heartbreaking loss as he mourns the passing of his 25-year-old stepdaughter, Lucy-Bleu Knight. The daughter of Slash’s current partner, Meegan Hodges, Lucy-Bleu was remembered by Slash as a talented artist, passionate dreamer, and a lovable soul. In a touching statement shared on Instagram, Slash announced her peaceful passing in Los Angeles on July 19, 2024.
The music community rallied around Slash and his family, offering words of support and condolences. Susan Holmes McKagan, Violet Grohl, and Flea were among the many who expressed their sympathy for the grieving family.

While fans eagerly await the tour’s return in Toronto on July 28th, they are encouraged to keep the family in their thoughts during this difficult time.
