Emily Armstrong, lead singer of the band Dead Sara, will be the new lead voice of Linkin Park. The announcement signifies the band’s return after Chester Bennington’s passing in 2017.
The band released the new single “The Emptiness Machine” on Friday (6) with the new lineup. In addition to Armstrong, Linkin Park also features songwriter and producer Colin Brittain as the new drummer.
The band’s Instagram profile also posted some videos of Emily singing the new song and other hits like “Waiting for the End” and “Numb.”
Fans have been divided over the announcement of the new lead singer. “You can’t replace Chester’s voice with a female singer,” said one fan unhappy with the band’s decision.
Others, however, expressed support and happiness with the return and the addition of the new member to Linkin Park. “To the critics: give Emily a chance. She is amazing and she’s not replacing Chester; no one can. She’s just keeping his music alive,” commented another fan.
Linkin Park has not released an album since 2017. “One More Light” was released two months after Chester Bennington’s death, which was due to suicide.
The band is now going on tour with the release of the album “From Zero,” scheduled for the end of 2024. So far, shows have been announced in Los Angeles, New York, London, Hamburg, Seoul, and Bogotá.
