Limp Bizkit’s Sam Rivers died at 48, leaving behind a legacy that helped define nu metal’s golden era.

Limp Bizkit announced the devastating news through social media Saturday evening, describing their longtime bandmate as “pure magic” and “a true legend of legends.”

“Today we lost our brother. Our bandmate. Our heartbeat,” the band posted to Instagram. “(He) wasn’t just our bass player — he was pure magic.”

The Jacksonville native joined Limp Bizkit at its formation in 1994, becoming the youngest member when the band released their breakthrough debut “Three Dollar Bill, Y’all” in 1997 at just 19 years old. Rivers’ rhythmic foundation anchored the band’s signature sound that blended Hip-Hop, metal, funk and industrial elements.

“From the first note we ever played together, Sam brought a light and a rhythm that could never be replaced,” the band’s tribute continued. “His talent was effortless, his presence unforgettable, his heart enormous.”

Rivers performed on all of Limp Bizkit’s major releases, including the multi-platinum albums “Significant Other” (1999) and “Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water” (2000). The band’s hits “Break Stuff,” “Rollin’” and “Take a Look Around” showcased Rivers’ bass work that helped propel nu metal into mainstream success.



Beyond Limp Bizkit, Rivers produced several Jacksonville bands including Burn Season, The Embrance and Indorphine. He attended Bishop Kenny High School and initially played guitar before switching to bass at his music teacher’s suggestion.

DJ Lethal, who commented on the band’s Instagram post, requested fans respect Rivers’ family’s privacy during this difficult time. “We are in shock,” he wrote. “We are heartbroken. Enjoy every millisecond of life. It’s not guaranteed.”

Limp Bizkit continues touring with nearly 21 million monthly Spotify listeners. No cause of death was revealed in the band’s announcement.
