Modest Mouse drummer Jeremiah Green has been diagnosed with stage IV cancer.
“Please send healing vibes for my son, Jeremiah Green, who is battling stage 4 cancer,” Green’s mother, Carol Namatame, shared via Facebook on Sunday, December 25, without specifying the particular form of her son’s illness. “He’s is [sic] so strong and so brave and hanging in there!”
Green has been the drummer of Modest Mouse since he cofounded the Seattle-based band in 1992. Last month, the group kicked off a tour in celebration of the 25th anniversary of their second album, The Lonesome Crowded West.
Along with the Sunday post, Namatame included a series of images that featured the 45-year-old musician over the years, from performing on stage to spending time with his family.
Following Namatame’s announcement, DJ Marco Collins took to social media to share details of his friend’s diagnosis, claiming that the Massachusetts native was forced to step back from the tour early.
