I've read that @Retro doesn't like Limp Bizkit very much, but you know something: I do! Which is exceptional because rock is usually not my thing. Perhaps it's just because my best friend introduced me to it in our late teens. He's of my generation. And so was Limp Bizkit's bassist Sam Rivers. He died aged 48.


I always describe my generation as Xennial (circa 1977 to 1983), as I am right on the cutoff point of Generation X and Millennial. Xennials are an interesting micro generation for many reasons, I might start a thread about that some day. Sam (1977) was also right there, and because of my fond memories with my best friend around Limp Bizkit (last concert we visited was in 2018), I think that the song My Generation is in place today.

On a Dutch news site 'unknown causes' were mentioned, but about 10 years ago Sam had some major liver issues due to heavy drinking. I'm no doctor and I won't jump to conclusions, so I'll just say that his history at least didn't help.
48 is nevertheless too young indeed. My dad died at 47 (heart attack). I'm getting awfully close to that age now. So yeah, whenever I hear about people dying in their mid-to-late 40s, it always startles me a little. ☹️

I'm really sorry about your dad, Hitcore. All I can suggest for yourself is to "live healthily"* and perhaps try and get a medical test to check your risk factors for heart disease and how well it's working to better know where you stand. I get this is personal information in public, so feel free to take it to DM if you prefer.

*I'm such a shining example of that...
