busybeeburns Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Obituary: Rock legend Lou Reed Lewis Allan Reed, better known as Lou, was a singer and guitarist famous for his deadpan voice and distinctive lyrics. In a career spanning many decades - both in the band Velvet Underground and his subsequent solo career - he had a huge influence on the shape of rock music. He was born in Brooklyn in 1942, and as a teenager he became a fan of early rock 'n' roll, playing the guitar in several high school bands. After attending Syracuse University, Reed moved to New York City and began work as a songwriter. In 1965 he co-founded The Velvet Underground with John Cale, Sterling Morrison and Maureen Tucker. The band recorded four albums, the lyrics of which often had dark or explicit themes that had rarely had been addressed so openly in rock. Their tracks included Heroin, which addressed Reed's growing drug use, I'll Be Your Mirror, All Tomorrow's Parties, I'm Waiting For the Man and Sweet Jane. They caught the attention of artist Andy Warhol, who became the group's manager and producer and helped them fuse avant-garde art with rock. Warhol paired the group with icy-voiced German-born singer Nico, with whom they collaborated memorably on their debut album, as well as making them the house band at his seminal Factory studio. While they gained little mainstream attention at the time, The Velvet Underground are now considered one of the most influential bands in the history of rock music. But after a series of personality clashes, Reed decided to leave Velvet Underground and worked for a while in his father's accounting firm. Little is known about this period in his life - according to Rolling Stone magazine, he was a virtual recluse - but in 1972 he moved to England, signed a recording contract and brought out his debut solo album, which was simply entitled Lou Reed. But it is his second solo album, Transformer, that is perhaps his most famous. Co-produced by David Bowie, the album contains the hit singles Walk on the Wild Side and Perfect Day. With the influence of David Bowie, Reed embraced the glam rock look of the era, sporting bleach-blonde hair and black fingernail polish. He continued to release albums over the course of his long career. In 1990 The Velvet Underground reunited in France to play a benefit concert, and there was hope of a more permanent reunion. But after a European tour, a similar American line-up was cancelled abruptly. After a long battle with drink and drugs, Lou Reed became ill from liver failure in 2013, and had a transplant in May. "I am a triumph of modern medicine," he posted on his website in June. Reed's first marriage, to British designer Sylvia Morales, ended in divorce. In 2008, he married his long-term partner, musician and performance artist Laurie Anderson.
