Re: Lou Reed Dead (?)

It maybe a hoax.

On Saturday (October 26) the singer's reps officially confirmed that Lou Reed is not dead. “He joins the long list of celebrities who have been victimized by this hoax. He's still alive and well, stop believing what you see on the Internet,” they said.

Some fans have expressed anger at the fake report saying it was reckless, distressing and hurtful to fans of the much loved singer. Others say this shows his extreme popularity across the globe.

Update, he dead.

Make your mind up!

Gutted. Unique, ground breaking artist.

My all time favourite. Cat even named after him. Street Hassle and Berlin on constant repeat. This is a tragic day in rock music history. The man re wrote the rule book.

Such a massive influence on so many musicians and a fantastic songwriter.
I'll stick on 'Metal Machine Music',it matches my mood at the moment.

In the years I've been on here and seen countless RIP threads, this is the one and only time I've been genuinely gutted. Bloke was a musical genius. Sad, sad day for me. Time to put Street Hassle on and Transformer.

He is personally responsible for many hours of well, joy isn't the right word, but times of emotional highs and lows (of the good type), I don't have the words to express what it all meant to me, so I'll just say RIP Lou, you made a real difference and let me see the world in a unique way.

An absolute legend, pretty gutted, he's always been one of the big ones for me.

I'll shoot heroin with you in Heaven, Lou, just keep my seat warm.
