Linkin Park’s New Singer Emily Armstrong Making Waves
Linkin Park fans were shocked earlier this month when the band announced their comeback with a new singer, Emily Armstrong. The choice to replace original frontman Chester Bennington has sparked controversy among fans, with some feeling that the band is erasing Bennington’s legacy.
However, Linkin Park founder Mike Shinoda has been quick to defend the decision, stating that the band’s return is not meant to replace or rewrite the past. In an interview with Radio 1, Shinoda emphasized that this new chapter with Armstrong is intended to be a fresh start for the band.
Armstrong, known for her work with hard rock band Dead Sara, has been praised by Shinoda for her unique voice and passion. Despite criticisms from Bennington’s family and fans, Linkin Park’s lead single with Armstrong, “The Emptiness Machine,” has already seen success on the charts.
The band’s world tour, which includes stops in London, New York, and LA, has sold out shows, showcasing Armstrong’s talent and the band’s dedication to their new chapter. While some may still have reservations about the change, Linkin Park is forging ahead with Armstrong at the helm, ready to write a new chapter in their storied career.
