"A public tribute has been planned to commemorate Lou Reed. The Velvet Underground co-founder passed away last month at the age of 71 in New York City, owing to complications that arose from a liver transplant he underwent in May.  Today (November 12), the official Lou Reed Facebook page announced that a public gathering to celebrate the musician&amp;#039;s life would take place this week. It is set to take place this Thursday (November 14) at 1pm in New York&amp;#039;s Lincoln Center. A brief description of the event reads: &amp;quot;A gathering open to the public - no speeches. no live performances, just Lou&amp;#039;s voice, guitar music &amp;amp; songs - playing the recordings selected by his family and friends.&amp;quot; Reed was perhaps best known as guitarist, singer and main songwriter of The Velvet Underground in the 1960s, and for his solo career from 1972 onwards. While not commercially successful at the time, The Velvet Underground went on to become one of the most highly regarded bands of the era. Reed&amp;#039;s solo hits include the classics &amp;#039;Walk on the Wide Side&amp;#039;, &amp;#039;Perfect Day&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;Satellite of Love&amp;#039;.
