“We truly apologise for any inconvenience this may cause to our loyal fans, promoters and support staff. Stand by for further news. Sincerely, Fred & Limp Bizkit.”

Although no specific news has been shared in regards to Durst’s health condition, in a video on the band’s site, the 51-year-old explained that he had visited his doctor “to make sure I’m in good physical condition and everything’s okay.”

“And to my surprise my doctor has decided to send me a letter telling me he would not like me to tour at this time and to stay close by to do some more tests,” he said.

“And that being said, this was very unexpected news and I’m so sorry and I look forward to making it up to you as soon as possible.”

Who is Fred Durst?

Fred Durst is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and actor best known as the frontman of nu-metal band Limp Bizkit.

Durst was born in Jacksonville, Florida, but grew up in Gastonia, North Carolina, where he would graduate high school.

He took an interest in breakdancing and hip hop aged 12 as well as heavy metal – later learning how to beatbox and DJ.

Durst joined the Navy in 1988 but left two years later, forming Limp Bizkit in 1994 with bassist Sam Rivers and drummer John Otto.

The band found fame after touring alongside the rock band, Korn.

DJ Lethal went on to join the band as a turntablist, cementing their exciting blend of heavy metal and hip hop.

Limp Bizkit achieved mainstream success with the albums Significant Other, released in 1999, and Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water, released in 2000.

Hits included Break Stuff, Rollin’, and My Way.

What happened at Woodstock 1999?

Woodstock 99 – a festival set up to celebrate the same 60s concert – was held on a disused air force base 100 miles away from the original 1969 event.

This meant that music lovers were left standing on baking concrete as they attempted to enjoy bands such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Metallica.

Water and food were described as expensive on-site, the festival was isolated from nearby amenities, the East and West stages were 2.3 miles apart, and campers ended up pitching their tents on concrete.

And the festival really started to go wrong when there was the legendary collapse in sanitation on the site, with poop mixing with mud.

Many concert-goers unwittingly wallowed in it, only to later realize they were caked from head to toe in excrement.

A heatwave brought record temperatures of 100F.

The infamous and disastrous weekend that unfolded is chronicled in the new documentary Woodstock 99: Peace, Love and Rage — which is being premiered on Thursday, July 29, on HBO.

It tells the story of how a festival that began with such high expectations managed to go so spectacularly wrong.

Many claim it was even worse than the equally infamous Fyre Festival in 2017.

Director Garret Price said he wanted to encapsulate the full horror of Woodstock ’99.

He said: “In telling the story of Woodstock ’99, it would have been really easy to structure this as a comedy, poking fun at all things late 1990s — the way people dressed, the music they listened to.

“But in reality, as that weekend unfolded, it played out much more like a horror film.”

Tragically there were two deaths from heat-related illnesses as festival-goers crammed into the heaving mosh pits.
