Slash’s stepdaughter Lucy-Bleu Knight shared a chilling final post on Instagram after the Guns N’ Roses star revealed her death at age 25.Knight passed away on Friday, July 19 at a private residence. The Los Angeles Medical Examiner’s Office said her autopsy has been scheduled.
Three hours after the Guns N’ Roses guitarist, 58, announced his stepdaughter’s death on Sunday evening, a selfie of Knight was posted to her social media with a message.
“Whether I made you feel excluded, manipulated/controlled you, told you to quit your day job from the comfort of being financially supported by my parents, or drowned real issues in toxic positivity — I am sorry,” she wrote.
“Countless missed opportunities and connections due to a disgustingly big ego, insecure heart and fear of being vulnerable. May my soul learn to evolve from my poor job at being Lucy-Bleu. Peace.”
In the eerie photo, Knight stared away from the camera and displayed a serious look on her face. Followers immediately theorized that she had scheduled the post before she passed away.
“I can’t believe you can schedule a post. This has to be so shocking and hard for her loved ones. I’m so sorry to all who adored her. This sucks,” one person commented.
“Really sad to read this even for someone that didn’t know her. Got a feeling reading these comments she was harder on herself than she needed to be and well loved,” another user wrote.
Slash revealed Knight’s death in a heartfelt post, noting his stepdaughter had “passed away peacefully.”
“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 message from the legendary guitarist read.
He called her “an incredibly talented artist, a passionate dreamer, and a charming, lovable, sweet soul” and asked for the family’s privacy. Slash also requested that “social media speculation be kept to a minimum” as her loved ones “grieve and process this devastating loss.”

“Due to unforeseen circumstances, the S.E.R.P.E.N.T tour regrettably has to cancel the below performances. Refunds will be available at points of purchase,” the announcement, made over the weekend, read.
“We love our fans and apologize for any inconvenience this has caused,” the message concluded.
