Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong dedicated a live performance of Nirvana’s “Drain You” to Jennifer Finch, the late bassist of L7, during a show with his side band The Coverups at the Roxy in West Hollywood on Monday night. The tribute matters because Finch was a significant figure in alternative rock and had personal links to Nirvana, making the song choice especially resonant. It also reflects the wider music community’s public mourning following her death.

Finch died aged 59, just days after news emerged that she had been battling an aggressive form of brain cancer. Armstrong introduced the song from the stage before playing a cover of the Nevermind track, while his wife Adrienne had also donated $5,000 to a GoFundMe campaign for Finch. The article notes that Finch dated Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl in the early 1990s, and that L7 will still proceed with the North American leg of its “Last Hurrah” farewell tour from 9 October to 14 November, with Finch’s blessing.
