LAST month L7 announced bass player Jennifer Finch would be sitting out their tour due to health concerns.
Earlier today the band revealed the pioneering musician, photographer and activist is battling an aggressive form of brain cancer.
Following rounds of surgery and complications, Finch now requires constant home care and a GoFundMe has been established to help with her medical costs. Donations can be made here.
The band’s statement can be seen in full below but vocalist Donita Sparks has issued her own statement, which read in part: “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.”
Upcoming US dates will be filled, the band saying that this was the wish of Finch.
On the GoFundMe page, it says: “The cancer and everything that comes with it have left her with significant physical limitations so she’s handling this the only way she knows how: one day at a time.
