Lou Reed liderul trupei Velvet Underground, a decedat la varsta de 71 de ani.

02 Noiembrie 2013
Lou Reed, interpretul si compozitorul misterios, atat pentru Velvet Underground cat si ca artist independent, cel care a furnizat sabloane muzicale pentru punk, glam, noise rock si pentru aproape toate radacinile muzicii indie rock, a decedat pe 27 octombrie la varsta de 71 de ani.
Cauza mortii nu este inca cunoscuta, insa ceea ce se stie e ca in luna mai acesta a avut un transplant de ficat, iar in luna iulie a fost spitalizat ca urmare a unei deshidratari severe.

Lewis Allan "Lou" Reed a fost  un muzician rock american, un compozitor si un fotograf din Brooklyn, New York. A fost mai cunoscut ca si chitarist, vocalist si principal compozitor al formatiei The Velvet Underground, cat si ca activitate solo pe durata mai multor decade. 
Cu toate ca The Velvet Underground a fost un fel de esec comercial la finele anilor "60, grupul a castigat un considerabil cult in urmatorii ani pana la disparitia sa, devenind trupa cea mai mentionata si mai influenta a epocii.
Ca vocalist si compozitor principal al celor de la The Velvet Underground, Reed a scris despre subiecte rezultate din experienta personala, prea putin examinate atat de deschis in rock and roll, incluzand si sexualitatea.

Dupa plecarea sa din trupa, Reed a inceput o cariera solo in 1972. A avut si un hit anii urmatori "Walk on the Wild Side". In 1975, Reed a lansat un dublu album Metal Machine Music, despre care a afirnmat mai tarziu "Se presupune ca nimeni nu este in masura sa faca un lucru ca acesta si sa supravietuiasca".
Reed a fost cunoscut pentru timbrul specific al vocii sale, versurile pieselor sale si pentru pionieratul in introducerea termenului de chitara Ostrich.
