On July 22, Slash issued a statement confirming his stepdaughter Lucy-Bleu Knight had died aged 25 in Los Angeles on July 19.
The announcement came just hours after he cancelled four of his upcoming shows, including an overnight performance in Cincinnati, due to "unforeseen circumstances".
"Lucy-Bleu was an incredibly talented artist, a passionate dreamer, and a charming, lovable, sweet soul," the heartbreaking statement from the musician read.

"I will never ever stop missing you & remembering what a beacon of happiness, laughter, creativity & beauty you have always been," he wrote of his late stepdaughter.

"The brightest light in the lives of so many that loved you so much. I find solace in the hope that you are at peace now," he continued.
"I will love you eternally," he signed off alongside a photo of Knight.
Slash reconnected with his longtime partner and Knight's mother Hodges in 2015 after first striking up a romance in 1989.
