Slash Posts Heartbreaking Tribute to Late Stepdaughter Lucy-Bleu: ‘I Will Never Stop Missing You’

Slash posted a heartbreaking tribute to late stepdaughter Lucy Bleu-Knight, 25, who died in Los Angeles on July 19 of as-yet-undisclosed causes. The Guns N’ Roses guitarist and solo star wrote of his anguish over the loss of the artist alongside a moody picture of Knight staring into the camera.

“My heart is permanently fractured. I will never ever stop missing you & remembering what a beacon of happiness, laughter, creativity & beauty you have always been. & still are,” Slash wrote. “The brightest light in the lives of so many that loved you so much. I find solace in the hope that you are at peace now. I will love you eternally. #LBK”

On July 22 Slash announced that Knight — the daughter of the guitarist’s longtime love Meegan Hodges and her ex, Mark Knight — had died. No information on the cause of death has been released so far, with the L.A. Medical Examiner’s office reportedly deferring the announcement as it completes additional testing. 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 condolence from some of his fellow musicians, including Lenny Kravitz, who wrote, “my deepest condolences brother. And yes, she still IS! Love to the family,” with Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello adding, “Ahh I’m so sorry my friend. Love to you and family.” Others offering 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 S.E.R.P.E.N.T. tour, “due to unforeseen circumstances.” As of Sunday (July 28), the traveling blues fest resumed with a show in Toronto and another coming up on Tuesday (July 30) in Lewiston, N.Y.
