Jeremiah Green, the drummer for the indie rock band Modest Mouse, was recently given the news that he had stage 4 cancer.
On Wednesday, the frontman of the band, Isaac Brock, posted a message on Modest Mouse’s Instagram announcing the news and asking for support from friends and fans while his bandmate goes through treatment.
“I figured it would be good to hear the news directly from our camp,” Brock wrote in the email. “Some of you may have already heard, but I figured it would be nice to hear the news directly from our camp.” “Both Jeremiah and I are believers in the power of positive energy; thus, if you could be so kind as to send ‘good vibes’ (to paraphrase Jeremiah), that would be greatly appreciated. Our thoughts are with Jeremiah and his family during this difficult time.”
The “Float On” band has received well wishes from many supporters, including musicians such as Patrick Carney, drummer for The Black Keys, and Peter Matthew Bauer, guitarist for The Walkmen.
Modest Mouse completed the Lonesome Crowded West tour on December 20 with a performance in Washington, District of Columbia. The band plans to play a show in Mexico City in March. According to his close buddy and fellow rock DJ Marco Collins, Green has been “taken off” the tour with the band to receive therapy.

Modest Mouse was initially formed in the 1990s by Green, Brock, and Eric Judy, who played bass for the band. They issued their first album in 1996. Since then, the band has grown to include six members, and they have jointly published eight albums since their inception. The most current studio album, titled “The Golden Casket,” was published by Epic records in June last year.
In 2015, Modest Mouse returned after an absence of eight years with the release of their first new music since “Golden Casket.”
Green told USA TODAY at the time of their 2015 release of “Strangers to Ourselves” that although they knew they needed to record another album, it took them some time to get around to doing so. “It was a long process before we could finally begin recording. We play for hours on end, improvising, then we come up with a million instrumental pieces, and maybe 20% of that becomes songs. Writing songs is normally quite easy.”
