The memoir of late L7 bassist Jennifer Finch will be published on Jan. 19, 2027.
The book, titled Shooting Up and Making Out: A Memoir of My Life in LA and L7, was completed before Finch’s death on July 18 following a diagnosis of brain cancer. She was 59.
“Jennifer’s memoir was the last major project she completed before she passed away,” says the book’s co-writer Jeff Alulis. “She and I worked together for two years to make sure she was happy with every word of it,
and with someone as intentional and thoughtful as Jennifer that was no small task!”
Alulis adds, “I’m heartbroken that she won’t get to see it published, but I’m thrilled to share her life and legacy with the world.”
Along with the memoir announcement, Rolling Stone has published a piece featuring L7’s Donita Sparks, Hole’s Courtney Love and Melissa Auf der Maur, Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello, Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea and The Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan sharing their remembrances of Finch.
L7 is set to launch a farewell tour in October.
