You guys have to read this because it's devastating and everyone on the forum needs to know — Jennifer Finch, the bassist for L7, was just diagnosed with brain cancer. She announced it herself through heartfelt notes on social media saying "dear friends" as she shared her news. This isn't just anyone; L7 is a cornerstone of 90s alternative rock and has stayed together since 1986, so this hits deep in the community. I can barely process it because they have been one of the most consistent bands out there for decades. Seeing someone you grew up listening to go through this kind of fight is just brutal.
Chris DeGaetano and Tim Moore are already rallying around her with messages that made me tear up — Chris wrote about how L7 has always been family since their first show in 1986. He shared a photo from decades ago, which shows just how long they've stood together through everything. Tim added his own note of support too, and the band camaraderie on display is something special to witness. I can only imagine what it means for them as a group that has weathered so much already. This kind of bond is why these bands have lasted since the late 80s while others fell apart — they are truly family.
And the fan response online has been overwhelming in the best way possible, with everyone sharing memories and sending love. Her wife has also stepped forward to say she will be by Jennifer's side through every treatment, which is another layer of strength that means everything right now. There was a dedicated hashtag trending and countless people posting videos from L7 concerts throughout the years. I just want to keep this at the top of the feed so everyone can join in on sending her some love. Everyone should take a second to send good vibes — she's fighting through one more battle, and we're all behind her.
