Jennifer Finch, the bassist for Los Angeles grunge rock band L7, dies at age 59, according to multiple reports. Several outlets say she was diagnosed with brain cancer earlier this month and that her death follows a brief period after she publicly shared the diagnosis. Finch’s fight is described in band and social media statements as long and courageous. L7 and other publications report she joined the band in the late 1980s and played on the group’s main studio releases from the band’s peak in the 1990s, including albums such as Smell the Magic and Bricks Are Heavy. Some reports also note that friends and family launched a GoFundMe effort to help cover medical expenses and that artists from across the rock and punk scenes contributed to the fundraising. Her passing is announced via social media, including references to an Instagram message and statements attributed to the band expressing grief for a longtime bandmate. Media accounts consistently describe Finch as a prominent figure in L7’s history and in the broader LA punk and grunge movement, and they cite a recent revelation of aggressive brain cancer shortly before her death.
