Following a facebook post made by a close family member, news has surfaced that Modest Mouse drummer and founding member Jeremiah Green has been battling stage four cancer. Green’s mother posted to facebook stating, “please send healing vibes for my son, Jeremiah Green, who is battling stage 4 cancer. He’s is so strong and so brave and hanging in there!” Later confirming the sad news famed DJ host and close friend of Green, Marco Collins, also posted to facebook with an update on Green’s health:

“Just found out my friend Jeremiah Green (Modest Mouse) has pulled off the band’s tour because he is currently undergoing chemo treatments to battle Stage 4 Cancer. Despite having a stage 4 diagnosis, his prognosis is good! Also his oncologist is a big MM fan (so he’s got that in his corner!) Sending him nothing but love & healing energy! Get well buddy. We’re all pulling for you!”

The renown drummer co-founded Modest Most with lead singer Isaac Brock in 1993, and they’ve since become one of the most influential indie-rock bands of all time. While Green parted ways with the band in 2003 due to mental health issues, he soon returned in 2004 when Modest Mouse would release their breakthrough single “Float On.” Green has remained an active member ever since and he’s even performed with the band as recent as December 2022 on their near sold-tour. At this time it has not been made public the type of cancer Green has been diagnosed with.

Modest Mouse and founder Isaac Brock have since posted statements acknowledging the matter asking for fans to send Green “good vibes:”

Hi. Some of you may have already heard, but I figured it would be good to hear the news directly from our camp. Jeremiah was diagnosed with cancer a short while ago, and he’s currently in treatment. It seems to be going smoothly and making a positive difference. Jeremiah, as am I, are believers in the power of positive energy, so if you would be so kind as to send “good vibes”( to quote Jeremiah) in the direction of Jeremiah and his family, that’d be great.
