Jennifer Finch died last week after chronicling her brain cancer fight. She was 59 and best known as L7's bassist. The band headlined big tours in the 1990s before their final gigs in the late 2000s. Finch had battled breast cancer before, beating the disease in 2015.
Former England football boss Kevin Keegan also passed away aged 75. He played more than 600 top-flight games, then managed Newcastle and the full England side. Few details have emerged about the specific conditions they faced.
