Limp Bizkit, the American nu-metal band, has canceled a scheduled European tour due to the health condition of its singer, Fred Durst. The band embarked on a tour in support of their latest album, Still Sucks, which kicked off in April of this year. The band was due to visit the UK in September. They have planned four events in London, including one at Brixton Academy, as well as shows in Birmingham and Manchester. They were also scheduled to perform in Germany, Austria and France.
In an earlier statement, the band said the band was taking a year off from touring due to Fred’s personal health issues and the recommendations of his “personal physician”. The message, which was posted on the band’s social media, also apologized to fans for any “inconvenience” they may have caused.

Limp Bizkit’s UK and European tour has been postponed due to Fred Durst’s health condition.
Fred Durst also posted a video on his website explaining that he has to take additional exams. He also said he didn’t get permission from his doctor to go on tour.
Durst’s original statement was followed by a video message on his website saying:
“In preparation for the 2022 summer tour of the UK and Europe, I have decided to undergo certain tests to ensure that I am in excellent physical shape and that everything is in order. And, to my surprise, the doctor decided to issue me a note saying that he didn’t want me to go on tour at this time and that I should stick around to get some more tests done.
Durst, however, comforted his fans by saying that the band would make amends, hinting at future rescheduled shows. The band may announce these dates in the future. He stated:
That said, this was extremely unexpected news and I’m very sorry. I want to make amends as soon as possible and I can only thank you very much for your support.”
