Two days later, on July 21, Slash, whose real name is Saul Hudson, announced his death online in a joint statement with his mother.
It read: ‘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.’
The note continued: ‘Lucy-Bleu was an incredibly talented artist, a passionate dreamer and a lovely, lovable and 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.”
Hours after the tragic news, a final post from Knight was shared on Instagram and fans concluded that she had scheduled it.
She shared a selfie and wrote in the caption: ‘Whether I made you feel left out, that I manipulated/controlled you, that I told you to quit your day job from the comfort of having financial support from my parents, or that I drowned out problems real in a toxic positivity, I’m sorry.’
The note concluded: “Countless missed opportunities and connections due to a disgustingly large ego, an insecure heart, and fear of being vulnerable.” May my soul learn to evolve from my bad job of being Lucy-Bleu. Peace.’
Slash initially dated Lucy-Bleu’s mother, Meegan Hodges, in 1989 before rekindling their relationship in 2015.
