Sam Rivers, bassist and co-founder of the legendary rock band Limp Bizkit, passed away at the age of 49. The death of the musician was announced on the band’s official account on a banned social network.
“We lost our brother today. Sam Rivers was not only our bassist, he was a true magician. From the first note we played together, Sam brought a light and rhythm to the music that is irreplaceable,” wrote Fred Durst. Sam Rivers’ cause of death is still unknown.
