Velvet Underground Members to be Part of Lou Reed Documentary

• 

Two of the surviving members of the Velvet Underground, Moe Tucker and Doug Yule, have been announced as participants in a forthcoming documentary about their late bandmate, Lou Reed.
Lou Reed Remembered, which will premiere on Sunday (December 15) on BBC Four, will take a look at Reed’s influential life as told by fellow rock stars that knew him and were inspired by him.
The BBC writes of the film, “With the help of friends, fellow musicians, critics and those who have been inspired not only by his music but also by his famously contrary approach to almost everything, the documentary looks at how Reed not only helped to shape a generation but also helped to create a truly alternative, independent rock scene, while also providing New York with its most provocative and potent soundtrack.”

Along with Tucker and Yule, Lou Reed Remembered will also feature commentary from Boy George, Blondie’s Debbie Harry and Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore, as well as Berlin guitarist Steve Hunter, author Paul Auster and photographer Mick Rock, among others.

After undergoing a liver transplant last summer, Lou Reed sadly passed away in October from complications due to liver failure. He was 71 years old.
