As a result of his tragic loss, he was forced to cancel several dates on his solo S. E.R. P.E. N.T Tour so he could grieve. However, he has since returned to performing once again.
In another post on July 23, he wrote online once again about his step-daughter and typed: “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 had dated Lucy Bleu’s mother, Meegan Hodges, back in 1989 and has since rekindled their romance in 2015. Lucy’s mum Meegan shared her late daughter with her ex-partner, Mark Knight.
