With their next album pushed back to the Autumn so tracks can be rerecorded with new guitarist Mike Smith, Limp Bizkit have pulled out as headliners of the Download festival in June. Promoters Clear Channel told reporters yesterday: "While we are disappointed to lose Limp Bizkit on Sunday at Download we still know that fans are up for the first ever full blown multi-day, multi-stage rock festival at Donington."
As previously reported Fred Durst confirmed last week his next album was being pushed back and renamed, again. But he promised his album really would come out in September: "Now there will be no more fuckin' around!! We are in the vocal stage on the new shit!! We will have a single out before the Summer Sanitarium tour and our new album 'Panty Sniffer' will drop, FOR SURE, the first week in September!!!!!! Sometimes you just have to go with the flow of creativity and we're doing just fucking that!! I love you and kiss my ass!!"
