Music Icon Slash Announces Step-Daughter Lucy Bleu-Knight’s Death at 25

July 23 (UPI) — Slash has announced the tragic passing of his step-daughter, Lucy Bleu-Knight, who was only 25 years old.

The New York Post reported that an autopsy is being conducted to determine the exact cause of 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, stepsister of London and Cash Hudson, passed peacefully in Los Angeles, CA on July 19, 2024,” the Guns N’ Roses guitarist wrote in a heartfelt statement on Instagram.

“Lucy-Bleu was a talented artist, a passionate dreamer, and a charming, lovable, sweet soul,” the message continued. “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.”

Her final social media post, which appears to have been pre-scheduled, was published on her Instagram account after her passing.

“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,” the message read on Knight’s account.

“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.”

Hodges commented: “MY BABY GIRL! I LOVE YOU WITH EVERYTHING. I’M SO SORRY.”

Actress Selma Blair also expressed her condolences, writing: “I wish you hadn’t felt this. We all feel this when sensitive. You deserve more beautiful girl.”

In light of this heartbreaking event, Slash has canceled four of his S.E.R.P.E.N.T. blues festival tour dates but aims to be back on stage next weekend.
