Fred Durst is known famously as the lead vocalist of the 1994 nu metal band Limp Bizkit. This strange name was given because Durst wanted a name that would sound weird to listeners and would put them off. After a while, the music group began attracting several curious concert goers and it soon released several successful albums. Driven by his angry lyrics and incredible performance skills, Limp Bizkit became one of the most talked about singing groups in the 1990s and early 2000s.
He also co-starred in the film Population 436 (2006) and in 2007 made his film directorial debut. Many refer to the singer as an obnoxious loudmouth and they are of the notion that his music band sucked. In the midst of all these dislike, he was still able to find love though short lived. He is currently in his third marriage and is a father to two kids. Read on to know all there is to know about this controversial singer.
