Jennifer Finch, the long-serving bass player with LA grunge veterans L7, has died at the age of 59, following a short battle with brain cancer.

Finch joined the original incarnation of L7, alongside singer Donita Sparks and guitarist Suzi Gardner, in 1986, recording four albums with the band before quitting in 1996. She rejoined in 2016, only stepping down at the beginning of the summer. Her diagnosis was only announced at the beginning of this week.
