The Guns N’ Roses guitarist wrote on Instagram, “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, the stepsister of London and Cash Hudson, passed away peacefully in Los Angeles, CA on July 19, 2024.”

He continued, “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.”

Lucy was only 25 years old. Slash dated Lucy’s mom, Meegan, for the first time in 1989. Then, they got back together in 2015.
