L7 Bassist Jennifer Finch's Cancer Diagnosis Casts Shadow Over Band's Final Tour

Jennifer Finch, longtime bassist of the '90s grunge band L7, has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer, as reported by Metal Addicts. The diagnosis comes just as the band prepares to launch the first leg of its final world tour, “The Last Hurrah Tour,” scheduled to begin on October 9 in the United States.
Pitchfork reported that Finch is currently undergoing treatment but has faced unforeseen complications requiring multiple surgeries that have resulted in physical limitations. A GoFundMe page has been established to help cover her medical expenses and at-home care, according to the same outlet.
"We love our sister, and we couldn't be more touched by the outpouring of love, support, and deep community that surrounds her, us, and L7."
Singer/guitarist Donita Sparks shared that statement, underscoring the support from bandmates and the wider music community as Finch faces this difficult period.
Metal Addicts noted that the band's tour is branded as a final world tour, making Finch's health battle a stark counterpoint to what should be a celebratory farewell to fans. The GoFundMe campaign aims to address both medical bills and the ongoing costs of at-home care as Finch recovers from her multiple surgeries.
