Limp Bizkit announced they postponed the UK and European leg of their tour due to unforeseen health concerns for their frontman Fred Durst.

"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," they said in a statement on Instagram. "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"

"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 more tests," Durst explained. "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."

This is the second time the "Still Sucks" tour was postponed. It was originally supposed to begin following the release of the band’s sixth album with the same name. However, they were forced to postpone due to concerns over COVID-19.
