Limp Bizkit is planning to work on new music in 2026 following the release of the band's 2025 single, "Making Love to Morgan Wallen."

Speaking with ABC Audio, guitarist Wes Borland shared that the band is continuing to navigate the loss of bassist and founding member Sam Rivers, who died in 2025.

"We had a death in the band, and that sort of has rocked us a little bit," Borland says. "We're kind of moving through that, recovering from that. It's been an interesting process."

Borland says Limp Bizkit intends to return to the studio between upcoming tour dates, which include headlining appearances at Rock Fest, Inkcarceration, Louder than Life and Aftershock.

"We are looking to go back into the studio and book studio time this year whenever we can in between travel to try to start working on a new record," Borland says.

Since returning to the stage following Rivers' passing, Limp Bizkit has been performing with bassist Richie Buxton, who also plays with Ecca Vandal.

"We're very stoked with our new bass player," Borland says. "Hopefully, we can keep him for as long as we can."

Borland recently also partnered with Jackson to release a new signature guitar.
