Hours after Slash (whose real name is Saul Hudson) shared the news, one final post from Lucy-Bleu's Instagram account was published. It has not been confirmed if it was scheduled or posted by someone else.
"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 post accompanied by a selfie of Lucy-Bleu looking off-camera read.
Her mother was one of the first to comment writing, "MY BABY GIRL! 🕊️🤍I LOVE YOU WITH EVERYTHING. I'M SO SORRY."
The announcement came after Slash took to social media on Saturday to share that multiple dates of the S.E.R.P.E.N.T. tour would be canceled.
