"Despite never winning a Grammy, Rivers received three nominations as a member of Limp Bizkit, including Best Hard Rock Performance in 2000 for "Nookie"; Best Rock Album in 2000 for Significant Other; and Best Hard Rock Performance in 2001 for "Take a Look Around" (from Mission: Impossible 2). Rivers, who co-founded Limp Bizkit and was a member of the pioneering nu-metal band until his passing, sadly died in October of last year at the young age of 48."
"In addition to disappointment from the metal community that Mastodon's Brent Hinds was omitted from the 2026 Grammy Awards' televised "In Memoriam" segment on Sunday night, rock fans were also left wondering why Limp Bizkit bassist Sam Rivers was also left off the on-screen tribute. Many of the artists and music-industry personnel who passed away over the past year were displayed on a big screen as tribute performances took place on the stages of the Crypto.com Arena, including an all-star rendition of "War Pigs" in honor of Ozzy Osbourne."
Brent Hinds and Sam Rivers were omitted from the televised 2026 Grammy Awards "In Memoriam" segment. Many deceased artists and industry personnel were shown on a big screen during tribute performances at the Crypto.com Arena, including an all-star rendition of "War Pigs" for Ozzy Osbourne. The CBS broadcast tended to cut to wide shots when the video backdrop featured late musicians, making a close-up of Rivers unlikely. Rivers received three Grammy nominations as a member of Limp Bizkit and died in October at age 48. Limp Bizkit continued a late-2025 Latin American tour with bassist Richie "Kid Not" Buxton.
