Lou Reed

Your music with The Velvet Underground changed my life. Now, I live my life the way that I want to. Thank you for the freedom your music has given me. I will never be the same person, again.

Condolences to his family and his friends

Lou, I can not begin to say what your music with The Velvet Underground and Solo work has meant to me! However, with words, I will attempt to do just that. In general, your music has taught me that each and everybody has worth. We are all human beings that should be loved and accepted as we are. Thank you for all of the music you have contributed to the world. You may be gone but will NEVER be forgotten!

Godspeed Lou, and thank you for sharing a part of your life with us.

Just listened to recently released live recording from LA '76, I'm remiss that it took so long to write his, Lou Reed was a great man. I often felt he was singing just to me. Saw him countless times. At the Capital theatre in Passaic NJ, playing backup guitar to Arlene Smith & the Chantels "Maybe Baby" was just heart stopping. Another time, at the Capital, I called out for "Legendary Hearts" didn't think he heard, but he played it! "The glory of love might see" us through....My belated condolences to Laurie Anderson,

An enormous influence on me and my perception of music, literature, and poetry. Lou changed everything I thought about those art media and he'll remain a sort of musical hero for me always. Being a child of the 21st century, his music's an important primary source for life and death in the 1960's - 1980's New York. His music also reminds me how superficial a lot of mainstream music from then to now remains. RIP Lou Reed - As you said/sang: "There's a bit of magic in everything, and some loss to even things out."

Lou although I only got to see one of your concerts, it was one of
the best shows I have ever seen. The show was in Chicago and you took the time to come out and meet the fans' afterwards. I feel so blessed to of been able to meet you. You were cool beyond words. May you rest in peace Lou, you will be missed.

lou, one of the main reasons I moved to nyc some 30 years ago.had the privilege to meet you and see you at work.forever linked in spirit. deepest love to you and laurie.

Please accept my condolences on the passing of Lou Reed. I had the pleasure of seeing him 3 times over the years; he was a great performer, and produced a lot of good work over the years. His place in history is secure.

For mr Lou Reed and for his wife Laurie. Love

Thanks for the music of a lifetime....

My sincere condolences to his wife, family and friends and to his fans.

Oh Lou, I'll miss you. You left us knowing you left too early when you still had so much to say. Peace be with you. And to you Laurie, he couldn't have found a better mate. Peace be with you too.

My deepest sorrow and tears to the family of the deceased. May these words bring you hope and consolation: "...Hear the promise God has made: He will call; the dead will answer. They shall live at his command. For he has a longing for the work of his own hand..."
See John 14: 13-15, John 6: 40; 11: 11, 43; Jas. 4: 14

Thanks!

God bless you Lou! Thanks for the songs that made my teenage years bearable. Little did I know they would still be in my heart forty years later and forevermore.

Thanks for the fun music, Mr. Reed!

On a Sunday morning...

A cool album cover in Woolworths 35 years ago- and I was never quite the same again after I played it. For a while you became a beautiful obsession, the chronicler who dignified this outsider. What an adventure it has been! I didnt realise until you passed how much you still mean to me.

Deepest sympathy for your loss. The Bible gives us comfort at 1 Cor. 15:26. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

So sorry to hear about the loss of this talented person. His music will live on forever. May God be with your family in this time of grief.

Surely you'll be missed. God bless you & your love ones.

long time listener and fan. may your new york shuffle with Hal live on for people in the future to enjoy. you are missed

Our heartfelt condolences. We were so sorry to hear of Mr. Reed's passing. May our Heavenly Father the God of comfort and tender mercies be with you. With deep sympathies .

Add another star to the "satellite of love" in heaven.
There will never be another Lou

Dear family of Lou Reed you have my deepest sympathy, may you find comfort in these words "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes" in your time of grieving.

God bless you wil be missed,thank you for your great music

Lou defined the term artist. If his gigt would have been painting, his work would have been like Dali, a writer, like Poe. He played and truely performed each song like a short story worthy of a Pulitzer. No explanation was needed. Just lay it all out. Paint an abstract and stand back. Look at bit from different angles. A true artist.

Dear Reed Family,

May Lou rest in peace and remain in the thoughts and be an inspiration to all poets and musicians for generations. He will be missed.

May your "Walk on the Wild Side" be a beautiful stroll in Heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ. Fun memories of singing that song over & over in my mind. Hey Joe, have fund on the wild side of Heaven. May God bless you & your family!

You know her life was saved by rock and roll...and baby it was alright...

RIP Lou
Thanks for taking us on a Walk On The Wild Side

Lou was very special to me in many ways. My heart is breaking with his passing!
Will love you forever Lou!!!

May Almighty God comfort you and your family....

Feeling understood is the greatest gift one could give while another is entrenched in the heart of despair. Thank You

We are so sorry for your loss. Luke 1:78

Now you're free. May you rest in peace.

An idol for many, a legend, and an all round cool person. May your legacy live on forever, and you rock on on such an unperfect day!

David and I always admired your style and cut of cloth.

R.I.P.
XOXO,
