In a heartbreaking turn of events, renowned guitarist Slash has been forced to cancel several dates on his S.E.R.P.E.N.T tour after the passing of his stepdaughter, Lucy-Bleu Knight. The news was announced through a statement released by the family, requesting privacy during this difficult time.

Lucy-Bleu Knight, born on December 6, 1998, was the beloved daughter of Meegan Hodges and Mark Knight. She was also the stepdaughter of Samantha Somers Knight and Slash, the iconic guitarist of Guns N' Roses. Lucy-Bleu was a sister to Scarlet Knight and stepsister to London and Cash Hudson. Unfortunately, she peacefully passed away on July 19, 2024, in Los Angeles, CA.

Upon the news of the tragic loss, an outpouring of condolences flooded social media from fans and friends. Model and author Susan Holmes McKagan, wife of Slash's Guns N' Roses bandmate Duff McKagan, expressed her deepest sympathy, while Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea and musician Violet Grohl offered their prayers and love to the grieving family.

It appears that Lucy-Bleu's passing has affected Slash on a personal level, leading to the recent cancellations on his S.E.R.P.E.N.T tour. The tour, which had been ongoing, will temporarily halt as the musician takes time to grieve and process this devastating loss.

The cancelled dates include a show in Cincinnati that was supposed to take place on July 22, followed by performances in Interlochen, Huber Heights, and Windsor. Ticket holders have been informed that refunds will be available at the points of purchase. The tour is expected to resume in Toronto on July 28.

During this difficult time, the family has requested that social media speculation be kept to a minimum, as they navigate through their grief. The support and understanding of fans and friends are deeply appreciated during this sorrowful period.

Our thoughts and condolences go out to Slash, Meegan Hodges, Mark Knight, Samantha Somers Knight, and their entire family as they mourn the loss of Lucy-Bleu Knight.
