Limp Bizkit have shared a new video package honoring the life and legacy of their brother in founding bassist, Sam Rivers. The video was first shared as Limp Bizkit first returned to the stage last November in Mexico City, MX for the band's first live set since the October 2025 passing. 

Featuring the somber, introspective standout "Drown" from 2003's Results May Vary LP, the video simply entitled Sam Rivers Forever, features a collection of achieved photos and video footage from the bassist's storied career with the band. Combined with the solemn air of the single, the video frames the close bond between the band members and the weight of the tragic loss. 

In a statement from the band released at the time of Rivers' passing, Limp Bizkit offered the highest praise of the skilled songwriter, musician and brother in arms, referring to Rivers as "The pulse beneath every song, the calm in the chaos, the soul in the sound.”

Since the November 29th appearance last year in Mexico City, the same set that first introduced the video package, the band has tapped Ecca Vandal bassist Richie Buxton to take up for Rivers as the band's touring bassist. 

See the heartfelt tribute to Sam Rivers of Limp Bizkit below.

Sam Rivers, forever.
