Limp Bizkit attempted a comeback when they released The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1) in 2005, but it failed to reignite their previous level of success, causing the band to then take a hiatus.
Since then, Limp Bizkit have continued to tour on and off and perform at festivals.
They have hinted at new music a number of times, and in 2021 released an album titled, Still Sucks.
In 2022, Fred secretly tied the knot for the fourth time with a much younger woman named Arles in LA.
The blushing bride flaunted her diamond wedding ring in her Instagram profile picture and changed her bio to Mrs. D aka Arles Durst.
The rap-rocker was first pictured with Arles in may of that same year when he brought her onstage during a concert at Mohegan Sun Arena in Pennsylvania.
Arles sported an orange hoodie and blue jeans as she slow danced with Fred to George Michael’s 1984 hit Careless Whisper before the band performed their 1999 banger Nookie.
