Cassie Jalilie, the drummer for Arizona-based punk band The Venomous Pinks, has passed away. She passed away following a battle with stage 4 cervical cancer. The band announced Cassie's passing in an Instagram post that reads, ”Cassandra Nicole Jalilie, our beloved musical sister, passed away today at 5:07 pm holding her twin sister’s hand, sitting alongside her dog daughter Chevy, and surrounded by family. To say this world is not as bright without her presence is an understatement. The love and support from the punk rock community is a testament not only to her as a person, but to her life’s legacy. We are beyond grateful for her and heartbroken and ask for privacy at this time as we take time to grieve and honor our beloved Cassie.” The Venomous Pinks formed in 2013 and released three EPs and one album, 2022’s Vita Mors. We send our condolences to Cassie Jalilie’s family, friends, and fans.
