Lou Reed's Widow Laurie Anderson Releases Statement

Lou Reed And Laurie Anderson Launch Vivid LIVE 
Following a series of comments and tributes from his colleagues and friend's the late Lou Reed's widow has issued her thoughts on his passing via the East Hampton Star, the local newspaper that serves the Long Island area where the couple resides.
Laurie Anderson revealed that after returning home from the Cleveland Clinic the week before his death on Sunday (October 29), Reed "spent his last days here being happy and dazzled by the beauty and power and softness of nature" and died while doing tai chi gestures with his hands.
She called Reed "a prince and a fighter and I know his songs of the pain and beauty in the world will fill many people with the incredible joy he felt for life."
Reed and Anderson became involved creatively and romantically during the late 90s and married on April 12, 2008. No formal memorial has been announced for Reed, although the Newington Green Unitarian Chapel in London will host an unofficial service, titled Wake on the Wild Side, on Sunday (November 3).

The full text of Anderson's letter reads:

To our neighbors:

What a beautiful fall! Everything shimmering and golden and all that incredible soft light. Water surrounding us.

Lou and I have spent a lot of time here in the past few years, and even though we're city people this is our spiritual home.

Last week I promised Lou to get him out of the hospital and come home to Springs. And we made it!
Lou was a tai chi master and spent his last days here being happy and dazzled by the beauty and power and softness of nature. He died on Sunday morning looking at the trees and doing the famous 21 form of tai chi with just his musician hands moving through the air.

Lou was a prince and a fighter and I know his songs of the pain and beauty in the world will fill many people with the incredible joy he felt for life. Long live the beauty that comes down and through and onto all of us.
