Ah, pisstits.

Lou Reed.

EDIT:
Or maybe not, the internet appears to be unable to make up its mind.

Rolling Stone reporting it, but other sources saying its a hoax that was started on Friday...

Very sad news... :(

Hope it's not true

Please no! A man of unparalleled genius, & Nico, White Light / White Heat, Transformer, Metal Machine Music, all untouchable.

All sources I've seen refer back to Rolling Stones...

I hope this is a hoax :(

Doubt it... sadly.

god damn this wind!

Simon Ricketts from the guardian just tweeted saying its now been confirmed by Lou's agent :(

RIP you fucking leg end.

was just on 6 Music - was only playing VU and Nico this AM

very sad

Solid confirmation now. Farewell, you old bastard genius. Was just listening to All Tomorrow's Parties earlier on.

Bye Lou

Cranking out Sister Ray as we speak, one of the most incredible tracks ever laid down, Lou Reed ab lidding about blowjobs, transvestites and mainlining whilst him and Cale duel with their guitars turned up way past 11, Moe Tuckers drumming somehow keeping the whole mess together. Still as exhilarating as ever.

^ repped

I'm gonna go do the same

I've also got the dancing around listening to Sister Ray thing going on.

RIP Lou. Give the satellite of love a wave whilst you're on your way to wherever.

So glad I was able to see Berlin at RAH back in 2008.

Sad times.
A true artist...

Very sad = me = Lou Reed gone ! = 2 weeks min getaway from media ...
