KUALA LUMPUR: Rock legend Slash's stepdaughter Lucy-Bleu Knight appears to have scheduled a haunting final Instagram post before her death.
AsiaOne reported yesterday that the 58-year-old guitarist announced on the platform last Monday that his "talented" stepdaughter Lucy-Bleu Knight had died on July 19 aged 25 — and hours later a photo and disturbing message went live on her account.
Fans have been left shocked by a new selfie with a disturbing caption on Lucy-Bleu's Instagram page three hours after her stepfather confirmed her death.
She said alongside a picture of herself: "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.
"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."
The Daily Mail reported that the caption had been edited since it was posted, but it is unclear who edited it or what they changed.
Slash or Paul Hudson wrote: "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.
"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."
Slash dated Lucy-Bleu's mother Meegan Hodges, 55, in 1989 before they got together again in 2015.
Meegan had her late daughter with Mark Knight, and the cause of her death remains unknown.
A day before announcing Lucy-Bleu's death Slash told fans he was pulling out of four shows on his S.E.R.P.E.N.T. festival tour due to "unforeseen circumstances".
