A legend and a huge influence on a lot of the stuff I listen to now, and for that I am grateful. Peace.

It seems that this is possibly a hoax. Only Pitchfork and RS have reported it, and neither have sources.

The Chicago Tribune and Aljazeera are also reporting it, but again, with no sources.
Strange things are afoot.

They both have the RS article cited as their source. However the Guardian posted an article a few minutes ago saying his agent confirmed. http://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/oct/27/lou-reed-velvet-underground-dies

Was really hoping for that hoax angle. 
Well, I guess I'll be listening to The Velvet Underground today.

I think the window for when that would have been at all interesting closed before you were born

It's a shame, he was a real influential artist. I suppose it's better that he at least died at 70 rather than in his 20s or 30s like some artists. Of course I am gonna put one some Lou Reed today to pay tribute.

I don't know I saw him perform Berlin live on tv the other day and it was really good. His voice was old and beaten but it still sounded good.

So sad. One of the most influential rock figures..ever. Music simply wouldn't be where it was right now if it wasn't for him.

Regarding the Velvet Underground influence John Cale had the much larger footprint. Reed was the face, Cale was the musician.
