Seven years after the death of frontman Chester Bennington, Linkin Park announced Thursday that it's reformed with a new singer.
Linkin Park is back. The influential rap-rock band announced Thursday that it’s reunited, seven years after the 2017 death of frontman Chester Bennington, and plans to tour and release a studio album this fall. The group’s new singer is Emily Armstrong, previously known as a member of the Los Angeles-based rock band Dead Sara; Linkin Park also has a new drummer in Colin Brittain, who replaces the band’s Rob Bourdon.
In a statement, the four surviving founders — who called their band Xero before Bennington joined and they renamed it Linkin Park — said they’d started hanging out in recent years in an attempt to “reconnect with the creativity and camaraderie” of their earliest days. The title of “From Zero,” Shinoda said, “refers to both this humble beginning and the journey we’re currently undertaking.
