SLASH's Mother Dies
- June 7, 2009
|
|
BLABBERMOUTH.NET has learned that Ola Hudson, the mother of former GUNS N' ROSES and current VELVET REVOLVER guitarist Slash, passed away Friday, June 5 around 6:00 p.m. PST after a battle with lung cancer. She was a professional costume designer named who tailored outfits for such acts as John Lennon, Diana Ross and the POINTER SISTERS. "[ Slash] was drawing from the time he could pick up a pencil," Ola Hudson told Rolling Stone magazine in an early 1990s interview. "I've been shocked at a lot of things I've read where it sounds like I left him on somebody's doorstep in a basket. They make it seem as if he never had a family and grew up on the streets like an urchin, but that's not true. It's just part of his image. He's not all leather and tattoos." Slash has been recording his debut solo CD with former NINE INCH NAILS drummer Josh Freese and ex- JANE'S ADDICTION bassist Chris Chaney. Confirmed guests so far include Ozzy Osbourne, AVENGED SEVENFOLD's M. Shadows and former GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Izzy Stradlin. Slash is scheduled to make a headlining appearance at this year's edition of the Quart festival, set to take place June 30 - July 4, 2009 in Kristiansand, Norway. Slash will perform a mixture of old and new material on the festival's opening day. Slash left GUNS N' ROSES in the mid-'90s, forming SLASH'S SNAKEPIT before later assembling VELVET REVOLVER with several other ex-members of GUNS N' ROSES and STONE TEMPLE PILOTS singer Scott Weiland. VELVET REVOLVER is currently searching for a replacement for Weiland, who was dismissed in April 2008.

SLASH -
I have nothing but respect for you since I saw what you did for that little boy in Manatee County, Florida a few years back. Now I understand why. I was not a big follower of GNR or Velvet Revolver and probably criticized you at some point in life. I was wrong! You are a good man and I believe the article your mom put out in the 90's after i have seen you step up for the kids! You are in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless. 3HP (Florida)

My thoughts are with the Hudson family. I am blessed that both of my parents are still with me. I can't imagine what Slash and his family are going through right now. Thank you Slash for sharing your gift with the world. I am confident that your mom is very proud of you. I wish you nothing but the best and must say that your music has gotten me through many hard times in my life...
May God Bless Ola...

i know slash was always close to his mom, so i'm sure this will be a difficult time for him. hang in there, slash! your fans are behind you!
to jeffgq: i think you're thinking of Lenny Kravitz' mother, Roxy Roker, who was on the Jeffersons tv show. i believe she passed away as well.

You can always count on some trolls to post on a death thread.
I guess this is more attention than you've received in a long time.
