HAWAII. (THECOUNT) — Jeremiah Green, founding drummer for musical group Modest Mouse, died on New Year’s Eve. He was 45.
Green passed away just days after the band announced he had been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.
“Today we lost our dear friend Jeremiah. He laid down to rest and simply faded out,” according to a statement posted Saturday on the band’s social media accounts. “Please appreciate all the love you give, get, have given, and will get. Above all, Jeremiah was about love.”
Carol Namatame, Green’s mother, took to Facebook saying her son “lost his courageous battle with cancer on December 31.”
“Jeremiah was a light to so many,” she wrote in her statement. “At this time the family is requesting privacy. More information will be forthcoming including a Celebration of Life for friends and fans in the coming months. Jeremiah’s loved ones would like to thank everyone for their continued well wishes and support. ”
