Tributes have flooded in for drummer Jeremiah Green after the news broke that the musician died on New Year’s Eve, aged 45. His bandmate, Manchester’s Johnny Marr, is among those who have posted heartfelt messages on social media following the tragic news.
Jeremiah, a founding member of indie rock band Modest Mouse, died just days after his mother, Carol Namatame, revealed he’d been battling a stage four cancer diagnosis.
In a tribute, Johnny Marr called the percussionist the ‘most creative musician’ he’d ever met. The 59-year-old had worked with Jeremiah for Modest Mouse’s 2007 album ‘We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank’.
