Linkin Park makes a comeback with new singer seven years after Chester Bennington’s demise

Seven years after the tragic loss of Chester Bennington, Linkin Park is making a significant comeback with new members and fresh music. During a live-stream event, the band introduced Emily Armstrong as their new vocalist alongside Mike Shinoda, while Colin Brittain takes over as the new drummer. Their latest single, 'The Emptiness Machine', was unveiled, along with details about their upcoming album, 'From Zero', set to release on November 15.

Emily Armstrong, known for her work with 'Dead Sara', and Colin Brittain, a producer who has collaborated with Papa Roach and All Time Low, are the newest additions to the band. In a statement, it was revealed that original drummer Rob Bourdon has stepped away from the group, as reported by the Associated Press and Deadline.

Alongside their new music, Linkin Park announced the 'From Zero' World Tour, which will kick off with performances in major cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Hamburg, London, and Seoul, with a show planned in Bogotá in November.

Linkin Park's legacy, largely shaped by Bennington’s iconic vocals, has been kept alive through re-releases of albums like Hybrid Theory and Meteora, and this year’s greatest hits collection, Papercuts. The upcoming album, From Zero, will feature tracks like 'The Emptiness Machine', 'Cut The Bridge', 'Heavy Is The Crown', 'Casualty', and more, marking a new chapter in the band’s journey.
