\n\tThe brief clip featured an image of Rivers accompanied by the messages \u201cSam Rivers, our brother forever\u201d and \u201cSam Rivers, we love you forever.\u201d As the video ended, the members of Limp Bizkit embraced one another while the crowd chanted the late bassist\u2019s name.<\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier in the day, drummer John Otto reflected on the loss of his close friend and bandmate in a heartfelt Instagram<\/a> post.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cToday is going to be tough,\u201d Otto wrote. \u201cA first I never wanted to experience. Especially not now. You\u2019ve 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHe continued, \u201cYou\u2019ve always been there. The godfather to my girls, my best friend \u2013 my brother. There will never be another you. We\u2019re going to honor the life you lived and the love you spread with every show we play. You\u2019ll always be with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe drummer closed his message with gratitude for the band\u2019s supporters. \u201cThank you to our fans for all the messages of support and tributes to Sam. It means the world to us. This one\u2019s for you Sammy,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Mexico City show featured bassist Richie Buxton (aka Kid Not), who also performs with Ecca Vandal, the group supporting Limp Bizkit on their upcoming South American dates<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tRivers passed away<\/a> on Oct. 18 at age 48. An official cause of death had not been revealed<\/a> at press time. The musician had been diagnosed with liver disease in 2011 after years of heavy drinking and underwent a liver transplant in 2017, following a temporary departure from the band in 2015. He rejoined Limp Bizkit in 2018.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter Rivers\u2019 death, Durst shared an emotional tribute<\/a>, calling it \u201cso tragic he\u2019s not here now\u201d and writing that he\u2019d shed \u201cgallons and gallons of tears since yesterday,\u201d adding, \u201cMy God, Sam\u2019s a legend. He did it. He lived it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe band \u2014 also featuring guitarist Wes Borland, DJ Lethal and Otto \u2014 issued a joint statement honoring their beloved bandmate as well.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSam Rivers wasn\u2019t just our bass player \u2014 he was pure magic,\u201d they wrote. \u201cThe pulse beneath every song, the calm in the chaos, the soul in the sound. 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
