Jennifer Finch, from the band L7, dies 5 days after revealing aggressive cancer

In a note published on Instagram, family and close people highlighted Jennifer's importance both for music and for those who lived with her. "It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our partner, sister, daughter and friend Jennifer Precious Finch. Jennifer's impact on the world of music was overwhelming; her impact on our lives, even greater. We appreciate everyone's interest and concern, as well as the kind messages. We ask that you give us a little space to grieve privately at this difficult time," the statement reads.

The band L7 also spoke out on social media. "It is with an extremely heavy heart that we announce the passing today of our beloved bandmate, friend and partner in mischief, Jennifer Finch. She fought a long and courageous battle with brain cancer and was dearly loved by countless wonderful friends, fellow musicians and fans around the world. We love you, Jennifer," the group wrote.

The diagnosis of the disease had been announced last Monday (13), when family, friends and members of L7 announced the creation of a fundraising campaign to help pay for the artist's treatment.

At the time, it was reported that Jennifer had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer and that, after multiple surgeries and serious complications, she needed intensive medical care, rehabilitation and professional assistance at home.

The band further explained that The Last Hurrah tour had been planned when the four members were in good health. Even though she was unable to participate in the performances in the United States, Jennifer asked the group to maintain the scheduled shows.

"Although she is unable to join us for the upcoming U.S. dates, Jennifer has asked us to continue the tour as planned. We will honor her request by making her care and well-being our immediate priority," the statement released at the time said.

The members also encouraged fans to contribute to the fundraising campaign. "Please donate if you can — and, just as importantly, share the campaign as much as possible. Every contribution, share and message of support matters. Jennifer is part of our family. We love her and want her to feel the full strength of the community that has loved and supported her for so many years," wrote L7, a band founded in the 1980s and currently made up of Donita Sparks, Demetra Plakas and Suzi Gardner.

On Jennifer Finch's official profile, a statement released before her death detailed the artist's health status. The note stated that, after the diagnosis, there was hope that treatment would allow him to return to a normal life. However, complications led to several surgeries and successive setbacks, leaving her with significant physical limitations and dependent on specialized care.

According to the text, the campaign created aimed to fund home nursing, physiotherapy, speech therapy, medical equipment, home assistance and also preserve the artistic legacy built by Jennifer over decades.

The message ended by highlighting the musician's trajectory and calling on the public to support her. "Jennifer has spent her life making noise. Creating art. Making history. Defying expectations. Breaking down doors. Reaching out to people. Truly caring, even when it would have been easier not to. Now it's our turn to reach out to her," the statement read.
