Modest Mouse Drummer Jeremiah Green Dead at 45 from Cancer

Jeremiah Green, co-founder and drummer for Modest Mouse, has actually passed away simply days after the band revealed he was fighting phase 4 cancer.

The group made the statement on New Year’s Eve, stating … “I don’t know a way to ease into this: Today we lost our dear friend Jeremiah. He laid down to rest and simply faded out. I’d like to say a bunch of pretty words right now, but it just isn’t the time. These will come later, and from many people. Please appreciate all the love you give, get, have given, and will get. Above all, Jeremiah was about love. We love you.”

As we reported, Jeremiah was in treatment for cancer and all signs were it was working out. The band had actually asked fans to consider Jeremiah since they felt the favorable energy would work.

Jeremiah and Isaac Brock discovered the group in 1992 and for the many part — other than for a time-out in 2003 — Green remained in the band.

He was noted as #37 of the leading 50 finest rock drummers by Stylus Mag.

The band had success … it was chosen for Best Alternative Music Album at the Grammys in 2005.

Modest Mouse launched 7 albums, consisting of “This Is a Long Drive for Someone With Nothing to Think About.” Music aside, it is among the very best titles ever! Some of their tunes, consisting of, “Lampshades on Fire,” “Float On,” “Ocean Breathes Salty,” and “Dashboard” were particularly popular.
