Jennifer Finch, the founding and longtime bassist of rock band L7 , has been diagnosed with aggressive brain cancer and is currently undergoing treatment.
According to a press release, “What initially appeared to be a condition that could be addressed through treatment and a full course of radiation has progressed rapidly. Unforeseen complications have required Jennifer to undergo multiple surgeries and have resulted in significant physical limitations. She now requires extensive ongoing medical care, rehabilitation and professional in-home assistance.”
A GoFundMe has been launched to help Finch with in-home nursing care, physical and speech therapy, medical equipment, and other essentials.
As a result of her medical condition, Finch will not be joining L7 on the Fall 2026 US leg of their “Last Hurrah” farewell tour .
L7 singer-guitarist Donita Sparks stated, “We are all devastated by the news and are surrounding her with love, protecting her privacy and dignity, while helping raise the resources she urgently needs for the care ahead. Jennifer is family, and we want her to feel the full strength of the community that has loved and supported her for so many years.”
The band will proceed with the tour, with Finch’s blessing. The outing kicks off October 9th in Phoenix, and runs through a November 14th show in Los Angeles ( pick up tickets here ).
