An Australian coroner today criticised Nu-metal band Limp Bizkit and the organisers of an open-air music festival over the death of a teenage fan caught in a crush at the event.

Limp Bizkit's tour manager told an inquest today that concert organisers are to blame for the death of a 15-year old fan.

Fred Durst has offered to testify via a video link at the inquest into a young fan's death at a concert.

Limp Bizkit are promising to give full co-operation when an inquest into the death of an Australian fan resumes.

Limp Bizkit have been partly blamed for a crowd collapse at a rock festival in which a young fan was crushed and later died.
