Overview
- L7 announced late Saturday that Jennifer Finch died at 59 after a courageous, but rapid, fight with an aggressive form of brain cancer.
- Friends, family and bandmates said unforeseen complications required multiple surgeries and left Finch with serious physical limitations that forced her to withdraw from L7’s U.S. dates.
- A public GoFundMe launched to pay for in‑home nursing, therapy, medical equipment and to preserve her creative archive raised more than several hundred thousand dollars.
- Finch had asked L7 to continue the band’s planned Last Hurrah tour without her and the group named Tsuzumi Okai as a temporary touring replacement for some dates.
- Finch helped define L7’s 1990s sound as a bassist, songwriter and activist, and her family and band have asked for privacy while they grieve and steward her legacy.
