Rap-rock outfit Limp Bizkit has reformed with the original line-up, following an eight-year hiatus.
The Florida band will launch a world tour in late May, including headlining shows and festival appearances.
Singer Fred Durst and guitarist Wes Borland, who has quit and rejoined the band twice, said in a joint statement: "We decided we were more disgusted and bored with the state of heavy popular music than we were with each other. Regardless of where our separate paths have taken us, we recognize there is a powerful and unique energy with this particular group of people we have not found anywhere else.

Delayed since recording began in 1994, "Chinese Democracy" hit stores in the U.S. on Sunday, although it is unlikely to be sold legally in China, where censors maintain tight control over films, music and publications.
