Ed Sheeran Joins Limp Bizkit at Pinkpop Fest for Who Song

Ed Sheeran made a surprise appearance during Limp Bizkit’s headlining set at the Pinkpop Festival in Landgraaf, Netherlands, performing a cover of The Who‘s “Behind Blue Eyes” with Fred Durst.

The British pop star made his cameo during the halfway point of Limp Bizkit’s set on Sunday (June 23rd).

While Sheeran and Durst may seem like an odd pairing, any irony dissipated when two began to earnestly duet “Behind Blues Eyes” — which Limp Bizkit famously covered on their 2003 album Results May Vary.

Sheeran and Durst duet on the song, and with just the subtle backing of a single acoustic guitar, the cover kinda sounds like Sheeran’s own brand of folky pop rock. Durst also plays hype man, pointing to his onstage guest and yelling to the crowd, “Ed Sheeran!”

Durst and company were clearly stoked to have the UK singer in their midst, with both the Limp Bizkit frontman and guitarist Wes Borland nabbing selfies with Sheeran to post on Instagram. Fittingly, Durst dubbed the collab “Fred Sheeran.”

Next month, Limp Bizkit will be embarking on a highly anticipated North American tour with Corey Feldman. We previously reported on the hilarious hype video for the trek, which kicks off in mid-July (get tickets here).
