We have sad news to report. Ola Hudson, mother of Slash, has died of lung cancer. Our condolences go out to Slash and his family. She was a professional costume designer named who tailored outfits for such acts as John Lennon, Diana Ross and the Pointer Sisters. In Slash's autobiography, he cited her as a big influence on his life both musically and character wise.

Hey that was a classy move on our part. Look at how we handled the death of Brad Delp a few years ago (tasteless).
