Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst has fuelled rumours that the band are on the verge of reforming.

The American rock group split in 2006 but reports of a reformation have been circling for weeks.

Now, Durst has increased speculation with a post on the band's MySpace page, in which he said “it is getting very close to time to drop the bizkit on the universe".

“I say this with the absolute best intentions and motivation. We, Limp Bizkit, are excited about the future for us and for you," Durst wrote.

"LBF is the way. LBF is for life. Let's stir some shit up my friends.”

He added: “Today is a very special day. Make a note of it.”

Limp Bizkit achieved huge commercial success in 2000 with the release of their third album 'Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavoured Water'.

The record spawned the tracks 'My Generation' and 'Rollin''.
