In a statement posted to the their socials, the band shared the following:<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udc94 In Loving Memory of Our Brother, Sam Rivers \ud83d\udc94<\/p>\n
Today we lost our brother.
Our bandmate.
Our heartbeat.<\/p>\n
Sam Rivers wasn\u2019t just our bass player \u2014 he was pure magic.
The pulse beneath every song, the calm in the chaos, the soul in the sound.<\/p>\n
From the first note we ever played together, Sam brought a light and a rhythm that could never be replaced. His talent was effortless, his presence unforgettable, his heart enormous.<\/p>\n
We shared so many moments \u2014 wild ones, quiet ones, beautiful ones \u2014 and every one of them meant more because Sam was there.<\/p>\n
He was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of human.
A true legend of legends.
And his spirit will live forever in every groove, every stage, every memory.<\/p>\n
We love you, Sam.
We\u2019ll carry you with us, always.<\/p>\n
Rest easy, brother.
Your music never ends.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Fred, Wes, John & DJ Lethal \u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n
