Jennifer Finch, Legendary L7 Bassist, Dies Following Brave Battle with Brain Cancer Diagnosis
Jennifer Finch, the bassist for the influential rock band L7, has died at the age of 59 after a battle with brain cancer. The band announced her passing on Instagram, praising her courageous fight against the disease and expressing their love for her.
Finch had been struggling with an aggressive form of brain cancer, and a GoFundMe campaign was launched to support her treatment and care. Despite initial hopes that treatment would allow her to return to normal living, unforeseen complications led to multiple surgeries and significant physical limitations.
The fundraising campaign, which was shared by stars such as Juliette Lewis, Joan Jett, and Courtney Love, exceeded its goal, raising over $390,000 to cover expenses including in-home nursing care and medical equipment. The funds were also intended to preserve Finch's legacy and support the completion of a creative project scheduled for release next year.
Finch joined L7 in 1986 and was also known for her work with the bands The Shocker and Other Star People. The band had announced plans to proceed with their Last Hurrah tour without her, per her wishes. In a recent update, Finch's loved ones shared that she had been enjoying messages of support from fans, but sadly, she has now passed away. Her family has requested space to heal privately during this difficult time, remembering her significant impact on the world of music and their lives.
