LIMP Bizkit have cancelled their gig scheduled for tomorrow night (Saturday) at the Glasgow Academy.

The rap-metal giants were due to appear in the city, but singer Fred Durst has been ordered to rest having strained muscles in his back.

A spokesman for the band said: "Due to some nagging sprained back muscles, Limp Bizkit is forced to cancel their show in Glasgow Academy tomorrow Saturday June 15.

"Fred has been required to take two days rest and is seeing a highly recommended sports physiotherapist today so that he can still perform as scheduled at Download Festival on Sunday.

"He and the entire band want to tell their Scottish fans that they were really excited to see them again and are extremely disappointed not to have the chance to perform for them on this occasion, yet determined to make it up to them as soon as they can."
