Limp Bizkit: 'We're friends again'

Limp Bizkit have revealed that they have been good friends since reforming last year.

The band, who went on hiatus in 2005 following a fall-out between lead singer Fred Durst and guitarist Wes Borland, said that their recent reunion has made them close friends.

Durst told NME: "The thing with the band right now is that we're not just getting along, we're actually all friends. That's the first time that's happened.

"Something magical has been happening with us since early 2009."

Durst also claimed that the band's reunion came as the result of them leaving a void in the industry that no other group could fill.

He added: "We all used to look at the void where we were and feel like nobody had really filled it in the time we were away - there's no other band in the world like Limp Bizkit.

"There's definitely a place for a good, sincere, fun heavy rock band and we're happy to fill that slot once more."

Limp Bizkit are due to play Leeds and Reading festivals this weekend.
