'Fred Durst is wearing a wig right? I think he's just messing with people,' said a Limp Bizkit fan

The legendary rap-rock band Limp Bizkit floored the audience with their enthralling performance at the ongoing Lollapalooza festival in Chicago on July 31. While the fans thoroughly enjoyed the band’s set, it was the group’s frontman Fred Durst’s new looks that took everyone by surprise. The 50-year-old Limp Bizkit vocalist soon grabbed a top spot on the trending list over the weekend as social media users failed to recognize him.

The singer-cum-filmmaker is usually spotted in his regular-shaved look teamed up with a baseball cap. However, the crooner decided to don a new look as he hit the Lollapalooza 2021 stage with gray hair and a handlebar mustache. Since this was the very first time the live audience saw Fred Durst in gray hair many claimed that it was a wig as they poured in hilarious reactions on Twitter. Speaking of the festival, artists like Post Malone, Megan Thee Stallion, Young Thug, and Roddy Ricch will also grace the festival. Lollapalooza opened its gates to the public on July 29 and will wrap it up on August 1.
