It's time to say goodbye, all night long you've been drinking your tequila but now you've sucked your lemon peel dry so why not get high, high, high...

Hier, l'une des plus grandes légendes de la musique nous a quitté. De peur de ne pas trouver les mots justes, je laisse la parole à ceux qui ont su décrire l'immense tristesse causée par cette terrible perte...

May you forever walk on the wild side, Lou Reed. Terribly sad to hear of your passing.

So many bands, musicians, artists would not have existed without Lou Reed - The Strokes included. This is a sad day. #RIPLouReed

I will remember Lou Reed fondly, particularly the time I rode past him in full cycling gear on the West Side Highway. He looked good.

Upsetting news travels fastest. A true icon and and an even truer gentleman. Played for him in NY @ his arts club. Icon. Legend. #RIPLouReed
