Fri Aug 22, 2008

NEW YORK (Billboard) - Jerry Finn, who produced records for American
pop-punk band Blink-182 and British singer Morrissey, died Thursday
(August 21) at the age of 39. He had suffered a massive brain
hemorrhage in July and was taken off life support on August 9.

Finn got his start as an engineer in the early 1990s before shifting
into production on such albums as Rancid's "... And Out Come the
Wolves." Among his best-known production credits are Blink-182's "Enema
of the State" and Morrissey's "You Are the Quarry." Finn also worked
with Green Day, Bad Religion, Sparta, AFI and the Offspring, among many
others.

Most recently, Finn lent production to Morrissey's upcoming "Years of
Refusal," due in February.

According to a family friend, plans for a donation or scholarship fund
are in the works, as is a memorial service for friends and family.
