@vinylloungemtl: On this day in 2013 Lou Reed, the iconic frontman of The Velvet Underground, passed away at 71. A long-time drinker and drug user, Reed underwent a liver transplant in 2013, after which he claimed to be 'bigger and stronger' than ever. Post-Velvet Underground, Reed embarked on a successful solo career, releasing 20 studio albums, including Transformer, produced by David Bowie. The album cemented Reed's mainstream status and remains a landmark of glam rock, featuring his hit single 'Walk on the Wild Side.' . #loureed #walkonthewildside #70srock #70smusic #nostalgia
