Limp Bizkit Forging Ahead With Upcoming Tour While New Details Emerge About Death Of Bassist Sam Rivers

More details are emerging about the death of Limp Bizkit bassist, Sam Rivers, who passed away on Saturday (October 18) in St. Johns County, Florida. Authorities responded to a call about a nonresponsive person in cardiac arrest, and while the sheriff’s office has not yet determined a cause of death, deputies have noted that their response was part of an “attended death” call, meaning that Rivers was battling a life-threatening illness with death as an expected outcome. The musician had previously battled a serious liver disease and underwent a liver transplant in 2017, but Rivers had recently been seen wearing a “F**k Cancer” shirt onstage, hinting at possible health struggles tied to the disease, with bandmate DJ Lethal paying tribute to Rivers in a post also using the #F**KCancer hashtag. Despite the tragic loss, Limp Bizkit will apparently continue with their upcoming Latin American tour, with a show promoter confirming in a statement, “Limp Bizkit has decided to continue with its performance on November 29th.” That implies that the nu-metal vets will forge ahead with the seven-show tour as scheduled.
