The original lineup of Limp Bizkit is reuniting for a tour and new album, according to a statement from Interscope Records.
Fred Durst, Wes Borland, Sam Rivers, John Otto and DJ Lethal were last together in the fall of 2001, after which Borland left the band to focus on his own music.
Limp Bizkit has essentially been on hiatus since then and Durst has been devoting his time and energies to directing and acting in films.
Although all dates are not confirmed yet, the band is scheduled to play international festivals this spring, including shows in Eastern Europe, as well as Germany's "Rock Am Ring" and "Rock Im Park" festivals.
According to a joint statement released by the crew: “We decided we were more disgusted and bored with the state of heavy popular music than we were with each other.”
Limp Bizkit was one of the most popular rock bands in the world and their first three albums have sold in excess of 20 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
