While fans mourn the death of the founding bassist of Limp Bizkit, Sam Rivers, the nu metal band has decided to continue with their scheduled tour. The organizers of their upcoming performance revealed the news on social media.
MusicVibe posted on Instagram that the band will perform in Mexico City’s Explanada Estadio Aztec on November. 29. The upcoming date is part of their Papa Gringo Tour scheduled to continue in South America.
“In such a significant moment for the band and its fans, Limp Bizkit has decided to continue with its performance on November 29th,” they said.
“That night, every riff and every scream of the crowd will resonate in honor of the great legacy Sam offered to Nu-Metal, because his energy will never cease.”
The post also shared the organizers’ condolences on the death of Rivers, who died on Oct. 18. They called Rivers a “legendary bassist” to many generations, and will continue to resonate with fans through every note of his music.
After New Mexico, Limp Bizkit’s Papa Gringo Tour will host shows in Colombia, Peru, Chile, Argentina, and Brazil.
While fans can expect some of their greatest hits, they released a seventh studio album in 2021 titled Still Sucks. Their latest release was the 2025 track “Making Love to Morgan Wallen”, which was included in the soundtrack for the video game Battlefield 6.
There are no details on who will replace Rivers as bassist for the upcoming tour dates. For now, Rivers’ cause of death has not officially been determined. Authorities responded to an “attended death” at an address. The bassist also struggled with liver disease and had a transplant in 2017.
“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,” wrote Limp Bizkit on social media following his death. “We love you, Sam. We’ll carry you with us, always. Rest easy, brother. Your music never ends.”
