„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“, the band wrote in an Instagram post announcing his death. „We shared so many moments — wild ones, quiet ones, beautiful ones — and every one of them meant more because Sam was there.
