Slash Returns to Stage After Loss

Slash, the legendary guitarist of Guns N' Roses, returned to the stage at his S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Blues Festival in New York just two weeks after the tragic death of his stepdaughter, Lucy-Bleu Knight, who passed away on July 19 at the age of 25. The cause of her death remains undisclosed, although an autopsy has been completed and further testing is pending. In an emotional Instagram tribute, Slash described Knight as 'the brightest light in the lives of so many' and expressed his profound grief, stating, 'My heart is permanently fractured.' He had previously canceled several tour dates to mourn her loss. As he continues his tour, fellow musicians and fans have shown their support and condolences during this difficult time for Slash and his family.
