His passing was marked by a statement from his heartbroken bandmates who said: “Today we lost our brother. Our bandmate. Our heartbeat.<\/p>\n

“Sam Rivers wasn\u2019t just our bass player \u2013 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 \u2013 wild ones, quiet ones, beautiful ones \u2013 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
