In a recent Instagram post, Slash honored his step-daughter Lucy-Bleu Knight, who died last week.
The guitarist has now addressed her death publicly for the first time. He wrote on Instagram:
“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. 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.”
It was announced on July 22 that Knight died on July 19 at age 25. No more details have been shared. Knight’s family made the following statement on social media:
“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 away peacefully in Los Angeles, California, on July 19, 2024. Lucy-Bleu was an incredibly talented artist, a passionate dreamer, and a charming, lovable, sweet soul. 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.”
Slash Canceled His Tour Dates
Knight worked as a manager at Electric Lady Management and was also a tattoo artist. She shared her work on social media. The day before her death was announced, Slash canceled several dates of his S.E.R.P.E.N.T tour due to ‘unforeseen circumstances.’ The guitarist said on Instagram:
“Due to unforeseen circumstances, the S.E.R.P.E.N.T tour regrettably has to cancel the below performances. Refunds will be available at points of purchase. July 22 – Cincinnati, OH – PNC Pavilion at Riverbend. July 24 – Interlochen, MI – Interlochen Center for the Arts. July 25 – Huber Heights, OH – Rose Music Center.

We love our fans and apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.”
Slash’s S.E.R.P.E.N.T tour restarted on July 28 in Toronto, Canada, and it will end on August 17 in Grand Prairie, Texas. The tour features Slash with his blues band, including Johnny Griparic on bass, Teddy ‘ZigZag’ Andreadis on keyboards, Michael Jerome on drums, and Tash Neal on vocals and guitar.
