A Perfect Day? No it isn't. Lou Reed passes away.

Sad day for the music world. Such an influential artist. No cause of death yet, but he was 71 and had recently undergone a liver transplant.

RIP,

Some great music made by the man

Skidder · 27 Oct 2013 at 18:04

I've loved Lou and the Velvet Underground for 25 years or so, a proper musical hero of mine. Sad day indeed

Erm, ok.

Strange choice of pun lol.

Ceryndrion · 27 Oct 2013 at 18:49

Certainly not a perfect day, when a walk on the wild side leaves the world, forever changed.

RIP

seriously what's the point in posting that? either google him or don't.

ps3ud0 · 27 Oct 2013 at 19:18

Oh no

- only know him for Perfect Day so kinda feel bad about that, but was aware he was a legend. Man I feel old seeing more and more older celebs passing on that I remember from childhood...

RIP

If you don't know his music, listen to the Youtube link above. Genius!

How can you get to 34 years old and not know who Lou Reed is?

I'm absolutely gutted by this news - I missed out on seeing him at meltdown last year and always believed I would have the opportunity to see him again and now it's gone.

Listening to "Berlin: Live at St. Ann's Warehouse"
