L7’s Jennifer Finch Diagnosed With Brain Cancer
The ’90s grunge outfit’s longtime bassist is raising funds to cover medical expenses and additional at-home care
Jennifer Finch , longtime bassist of the ’90s grunge outfit L7 , is currently undergoing treatment for brain cancer. “Unforseen complications have required Jennifer to undergo multiple surgeries that have resulted in physical limitations,” reads a press release shared by the band. A GoFundMe page has been set up to help Finch cover her medical expenses and additional at-home care.
“We are all devastated by the news and are surrounding her with love,” L7 singer and guitarist Donita Sparks said in a statement. “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.”
In 2019, L7 made a comeback with Scatter the Rats , their first album since 1999’s Slap-Happy . The band celebrated their 40th anniversary last year with a special concert at the Belasco in Los Angeles. Finch will not join L7 on the initial North American leg of their Last Hurrah farewell tour , which is set for the fall, but reportedly encouraged the band to go on with the shows without her.
