Last night (November 29), Limp Bizkit returned to the stage at Explanada Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, Mexico. The concert served as the band’s first since the death of Sam Rivers. Richie “Kid Not” Buxton, Ecca Vandal’s songwriting partner and producer, filled in for the late bassist.
The show found the band paying tribute to Rivers with old video clips and messages that said “Sam Rivers, our brother forever” and “Sam Rivers, we love you forever.”
Drummer John Otto also shared his own tribute on social media before the performance:
“Today is going to be tough. A first I never wanted to experience. Especially not now. You’ve been there for so many major firsts in my life. Some of my earliest memories were made with you. We grew up together. Laughed together. Realized our dreams together. And traveled the world together. You’ve always been there. The godfather to my girls, my best friend — my brother. There will never be another you. We’re going to honor the life you lived and the love you spread with every show we play. You’ll always be with us. Thank you to our fans for all the messages of support and tributes to Sam. It means the world to us. This one’s for you Sammy.”
