Daniel Johns Instagram – A talented and loving young man Sam Murphy was tragically hit by a train and killed.
Sam was a beautiful son to De, a supportive brother to Cheyenne, a loyal cousin to Lachlan, a respected band mate and a friend to many.
I’d never met Sam but after reading @leesonjosh ‘s story and seeing his former bandmate and friend @zanefleming ‘s silverchair shirt in this pic I reached out to his family to check in.
We spoke about honouring Sam and making sure his legacy and love of music was never forgotten.
Like me, most of you won’t have met Sam but it would mean a lot if you could leave a message of support for him here or elsewhere.
For locals, there is a benefit show ‘Shred for Sam’ tonight at @the_newy_ with a line-up of amazing Newcastle musicians showing up to raise funds for Sam’s family including Zane’s excellent band @lostplaza
To Sam’s family including De, Cheyenne and Lachlan, my heart goes out to you all. Please stay strong for each other and know that you are not alone in this.
To Sam, your legacy and your life will be celebrated and one day when the time comes we will meet wherever we go next and jam together. You might have to remind me how to play some of the old Silverchair songs again ❤️ | Posted on 10/Sep/2023 03:10:42
