  • Durst motioned the drone closer, struck it from the air with his microphone, and told security to throw the damaged device into the crowd.
  • Multiple audience-shot videos from different angles circulated online, and several outlets corroborated the timing, location, and sequence of events.
  • Durst told fans the show might be Limp Bizkit’s last in Turkey, offering no explanation, and no official statements or actions have been reported.
