Sam Rivers Legacy Lives On

Sam Rivers, the iconic Limp Bizkit bassist whose health battles and triumphant return defined his legacy, has passed away, leaving the band heartbroken. Wes Borland called him “part of their DNA,” while the remaining members hailed him as “pure magic” and “the heartbeat” of their sound. After a liver transplant saved his life and he rejoined the band in 2018, Sam’s devotion to music and his bandmates was undeniable. Richie Buxton now fills his spot, praised by Borland as a “fantastic player and great guy,” though he juggles commitments with wife Ecca Vandal. Limp Bizkit continues their global tour, hitting major U.S. festivals this summer and fall, carrying Sam’s spirit forward. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
