Limp Bizkit\'s reunion tour just got put on ice in Norway after pneumonia has taken down drummer John \"Da Beat Man\" Otto.\"I am sorry to inform you that John Otto is diagnosed with pneumonia and has been admitted into a hospital here in Oslo... Please send him positive vibes! We wish you a speedy recovery brother.\"
The 33-year-old sticks man from Jacksonville, Florida initially suffered from stomach illness. The drummer has since been undergoing a series of tests to determine the seriousness of his condition. Eventually he was diagnosed with pneumonia.
Disappointed fans have been told their money will be refunded but no word has come from the band as to whether they will reschedule the show or not.
It remains to be seen how long John Otto will be out of action for and more dates may yet be cancelled.
The rock group is next due to perform in St Petersburg, Russia on October 1.
Pneumonia attacks the lungs, causing inflammation, fluid build up and sometimes tissue damage. Symptoms include coughing, chest pains, breathing difficulties and fever. It is a common disease which affects all age groups and is a major cause of death in the old, young and chronically ill.
