Sum 41 Talk Loss of Jerry Finn: 'He Was an All Around Great Guy'
Sum 41 is the latest in a string of bands to post their condolences via the Internet on the late music producer Jerry Finn.
"Jerry Finn, a good friend of the band, passed away last week on Aug. 21st, 2008. We met Jerry in 2001 when he produced our album All Killer No Filler. He was a great producer/engineer and just an all around great guy. Anyone who knew Jerry knew how awesome he was. He will be greatly missed and our condolences go out to his family and friends. Jerry Finn - March 31, 1969 - August 21, 2008," the band stated on their MySpace blog.
Sum 41 released All Killer No Filler in May of 2001 and, thanks to the hit singles "Fat Lip" and "In Too Deep," has sold over 3 million copies worldwide.
Recently, both Mark Hoppus and Dexter Holland spoke out over the loss of Jerry Finn.
To catch you up to speed, Finn was taken off life support last month after suffering a massive brain hemorrhage. "Even though he did make snail-like improvement these past 31 days, he is not any better for words and has not had any consistency in the tests that the medical team have done for him," a close friend of Finn explained on the morrissey-solo.com forum (Finn helped produce Morrissey's upcoming record titled Years of Refusal). "At this time the hemorrhage has done massive damage to his body which will leave him severely disabled and in need of acute care for the rest of his life. We know Jerry wouldn't want to live like this in a vegetative state."
Here is a list of some of the records Finn has worked on that you probably own:
Green Day - Dookie, Insomniac, International Superhits!
Blink-182 - Enema of the State, Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, untitled, Greatest Hits
AFI - Sing the Sorrow, Decemberunderground
Rancid - ... And Out Come the Wolves, Life Won't Wait
+44 - When Your Heart Stops Beating
Buzznet wishes the Finn family all the best during this incredibly tough time.
