Limp Bizkit Drummer Has Pneumonia

Blabbermouth fucked up

Weird — I thought he had makesmusicalpoopitis. But then again, I’m not a doctor, I just play one in my tool shed. According to TMZ.com, this is what forced the band to cancel a gig in Oslo, Norway, last night. So that’s where they still have some fans!

For some reason, TMZ is covering Limp Bizkit. I guess they have a few fans there too. The band’s manager tells the gossip site that drummer, John Otto has been diagnosed with pneumonia and that he is currently undergoing a series of tests to determine the seriousness of his condition.

Of course, the band nixed its U.S. tour earlier this year because no one bought tickets. And they have a record coming out at some point called Gold Cobra. We just don’t know when that’s going to be.

By the way, notice how Blabbermouth posted a picture of Sam Rivers, the band’s bassist, with its story. Busted!
