Slash enjoys a low-key supermarket visit with his longtime partner

Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash, born Saul Hudson, was recently seen on a low-profile supermarket outing with his longtime partner Meegan Hodges. The 60-year-old rock star traded his iconic guitar for a shopping trolley, keeping a low profile beneath a backwards baseball cap while wearing a black leather motorcycle jacket and jeans. Meegan, 57, kept the trip casual in a knitted poncho and beanie. Slash has openly reflected on how the band’s past behaviour would not be tolerated in today’s social media era, acknowledging that much of what they did might have faced public criticism if the internet had been prevalent. Despite his wild rock past and struggles with addiction, including a near-fatal diagnosis of cardiomyopathy in 2001, Slash has been sober since 2006. The outing comes in the wake of a personal tragedy for Meegan’s family, as her daughter Lucy-Bleu Knight died in 2024 from hydrogen sulfide toxicity, ruled a suicide. Slash shared his grief publicly, describing his stepdaughter as a beacon of happiness and creativity and expressing his eternal love and sorrow. This glimpse into his everyday life contrasts sharply with his onstage persona, highlighting a quieter, more private side of the rock icon.
