Guns N' Roses guitarist's divorce, with heavy monthly support.
Slash, born Saul Hudson, is the top-hatted lead guitarist of Guns N' Roses, and Perla Ferrar is a former model and a Los Angeles native. They met in the 1990s and married in October 2001. They have two sons, London, born in 2002, and Cash, born in 2004. The couple lived in Los Angeles, and Ferrar was a constant companion through his years with Velvet Revolver and the early solo career that followed.
Slash's wealth comes from the sales of Guns N' Roses albums, especially Appetite for Destruction, which sold tens of millions of copies, and from tours, royalties and his work with the supergroup Velvet Revolver. His solo albums and a successful reunion tour of Guns N' Roses from 2016 added to his income, though most of that came after the divorce.
The couple married in 2001, and the marriage lasted about 12 or 13 years. In 2014 Perla filed for divorce, and the legal process in Los Angeles took several years because of disputes over support. Slash later married Meegan Hodges in 2018. The long fight over money continued well after the divorce itself.
Reports said that Ferrar received a settlement of around $6.6 million, along with spousal support of about $100,000 a month and child support of about $39,000 a month. A TMZ report in 2018 said that Slash had been ordered to pay millions of dollars more in a dispute over unpaid support. The exact total is therefore uncertain.
The amount of the lump sum was moderate, but the monthly support was large because the court based it on Slash's earnings from touring and royalties. The length of the marriage and the couple's lifestyle were considered in setting the level of spousal support.
Slash's income was boosted by the Guns N' Roses reunion tour, Not in This Lifetime, which became one of the highest-grossing tours in history. He also released solo albums with Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators. The support orders were a significant but manageable part of his income.
The Slash case is a modest one in terms of the lump sum and best compared to the Hogan and Strahan cases, in which monthly payments were the main issue. It is typical of rock-star divorces, in which the royalties and touring income of the musician determine what the spouse receives.
Slash's hat and curly hair have made him one of the most recognized figures in rock music. He and Perla were together when he rejoined Guns N' Roses. The $6.6 million figure is a reported estimate, and it does not include the monthly support.
