Limp Bizkit postpone UK and European tour due to “health concerns”

American rap-rockers Limp Bizkit have announced they will be postponing their upcoming UK and EU tour due to “medical advice” given to frontman Fred Durst.

The band issued a public statement on social media explaining their situation: “For personal health concerns and based on medical advice given by my personal physician to take an immediate break from touring, Limp Bizkit will sadly have to postpone their 2022 UK and European tour. 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.”

Fred shared an online video with fans addressing the cancellation and offering an insight into the “health concerns” which have affected his ability to tour.

"In preparation for the 2022 summer tour in UK and Europe, I have decided to do some tests 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 explains.

Fred continues: “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. And I can only thank you so much for your support. And I truly am grateful for everyone who was going to take their time out of their busy lives and come see Limp Bizkit perform this summer. And I look forward to making that up to you as soon as possible and I'm definitely already trying to think of ways to do that.”

While the current batch of UK and EU dates are being cancelled, Fred has promised that Bizkit “already working on something to make it up to everyone in the UK and all over Europe.”

Limp Bizkit were expected to kick off their tour in Sweden on August 1 and hit up the UK in September in support of their 2021 record Still Sucks.
