Fred Durst has revealed that he decided it was time to call it a day with Limp Bizkit when he realised that their music had become bullies' anthems.
Limp Bizkit
Durst reveals he was bullied at school and hated the idea that his music was a driving force for thugs who were picking on people just like him.
He tells Eonline.com, "I got beat up all the time in high school. I was the underdog. All of my angst comes from that (time) in my life.
"The irony is, Limp Bizkit, for a while, was the fuel for bullies to beat up a lot of these underdogs. That's when I decided to stop. I was like, 'You know, that's me they're beating up, and my music is fuelling them.' So I held back for a while."
Limp Bizkit recently reunited and have announced a string of 2009 summer dates around the world.
