Fred Durst, the frontman of Limp Bizkit, surprised fans at Download Festival in Derby last Sunday with a dramatically different appearance. The 53-year-old rocker, known for his signature goatee, now sports a bushy grey beard, paired with a striped black-and-white Japan jersey, white trousers, black trainers, and a light blue bucket hat.
The band, which also includes John Otto, Sam Rivers, Wes Borland, and DJ Lethal, delivered a set that fans hailed as the best of the weekend. Social media was abuzz with praise, with one fan, Amy_lou_83, calling it 'the best thing I’ve seen this weekend with my human eyes.' Another, Emmaannerae, described the show as 'the most INSANE show. WOWWWW.'
Limp Bizkit formed in 1994 and rose to fame with their second album, Significant Other, which topped US charts in 1999. Their third album, Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water, released in 2000, reached number one in the UK, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, featuring hits like 'Rollin'.'
After Download, the band performed at Pinkpop in the Netherlands, where they were joined on stage by Ed Sheeran for a cover of 'Behind Blue Eyes.' Durst joked on Instagram that the duo became 'Fred Sheeran' for the set.
