Overview
- The band announced Finch’s death on Saturday after a rapid illness that followed an aggressive brain cancer diagnosis disclosed on July 13.
- Friends, family and bandmates launched a GoFundMe to pay for round‑the‑clock in‑home nursing, rehabilitation, medical equipment and to preserve her creative archive, and the campaign quickly exceeded its goal.
- L7 said Finch had asked them to continue the Last Hurrah farewell tour without her and the band intends to honor that request while prioritizing her care and family privacy.
- Some outlets report Tsuzumi Okai as a temporary touring bassist for the dates Finch would miss, a detail that has appeared in tour staffing notices but is not yet uniformly confirmed across all reports.
- Finch was a central figure in L7 and the 1990s alt‑rock scene, joining the band in the mid‑1980s, reuniting in 2014 and contributing to the group's music, photography and feminist activism throughout her career.
