Slash Cancels Shows as He Mourns Loss of Step-Daughter
Slash cancelled a handful of upcoming shows on his S.E.R.P.E.N.T. tour as he mourns the loss of his 25-year-old stepdaughter, Lucy-Bleu Knight.
Knight is the daughter of Meegan Hodges — the rockstar’s partner since 2015. Slash shared a statement regarding Knight’s death, confirming that she died on July 19. Her cause of death was not confirmed.
“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, Calif. on July 19, 2024,” the post read.
“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.”
In light of the news, the following S.E.R.P.E.N.T. tour shows have been cancelled: July 22 in Cincinnati, Ohio; July 24 in Interlochen, Michigan; July 25 in Huber Heights, Ohio; and July 27 in Windsor, Ontario. Slash shared a post cancelling the dates, noting gigs were called-off amid “unforeseen circumstances.” Refunds will be given via point of purchase.
The tour is expected to resume on July 28 when Slash is slated to appear at Toronto’s Budweiser Stage.
“We love our fans and apologize for any inconvenience this has caused,” the statement concluded.
