Jennifer Finch died last week after publicly sharing her brain cancer struggle. She was 59 and widely recognised as L7's bassist. The band played large tours in the 1990s before their final gigs in the late 2000s. Finch had faced breast cancer previously, coming through it in 2015.
Former England football boss Kevin Keegan also passed away aged 75. He played over 600 league games, then took charge at Newcastle and the full England side. Not much has been shared about the exact illnesses they faced.
