Jennifer Finch, the iconic bassist for the rock band L7, died on Saturday at the age of 59. Her passing followed a protracted and courageous fight against brain cancer.
Finch had recently announced her diagnosis with an aggressive form of brain cancer. Initial optimism for treatment with radiation was replaced by complications requiring multiple surgeries. These procedures resulted in significant physical limitations, necessitating extensive medical care.
Due to her health struggles, Finch was unable to join L7's planned Last Hurrah Tour's U.S. leg. She had encouraged her bandmates to proceed with the tour as scheduled.
Joining L7 in 1987, Finch was noted for her spirited bass playing that energized the band's live performances. After a hiatus, she reunited with L7 in 2015, contributing to their 2019 album "Scatter the Rats."
Beyond her music career, Finch was also an accomplished photographer and founded her own record label, Little Pusher Records. Friends and family had established a GoFundMe to support her treatment, recovery, and the preservation of her creative work.
