Musician and songwriter Slash, known as the lead guitarist of the famous band Guns N’ Roses, announced the death of his stepdaughter. Lucy-Bleu Knight was only 25 years old, the cause of death was not disclosed.
The young woman died on July 19 at a “private residence,” according to the document, which is available to some US media outlets including The New York Post, and an autopsy has been ordered.
Only a few hours after her death was publicly announced, a post appeared on her Instagram profile.
“Whether I made you feel excluded, manipulated you, controlled you, told you from the comfort of your parents’ financial support to quit your day job, or drowned real issues in toxic positivity – I’m sorry. Countless missed opportunities and connections due to an obnoxiously large ego, insecure heart, and fear of vulnerability. May my soul learn to evolve from being a bad Lucy-Bleu. Peace,” reads the text that accompanied the photo, in which a young girl is staring intently somewhere outside the camera.

The post was apparently timed ahead of time. One of those who responded to him was the mother of Lucy-Bleu Meegan Hodges, Slash’s partner. “My little girl! I love you all over. I’m so sorry,” she wrote.
Slash’s family said of the girl’s death that Lucy-Bleu was “an incredibly talented artist, a passionate dreamer and a charming, loving, beautiful soul”. After that, those closest to her asked for privacy and also for people not to speculate on social media. That didn’t quite happen. “Here’s the answer to how she died,” read several comments on the girl’s latest post.
Lucy-Bleu was the daughter of Slash’s longtime partner Meegan Hodges and her ex-partner Mark Knight. She dated Slash Hodges in the late 1980s, then broke up, only to get back together in 2015.
