Linkin Park Adds New Co-Vocalist | Emily Armstrong
Jaime Bennington, the son of late Linkin Park lead singer Chester Bennington, has criticized the band's decision to sign Emily Armstrong as their new vocalist.
Armstrong, co-founder of the rock band Dead Sara, made her Linkin Park debut during a live performance on Sept. 5, along with new drummer Colin Brittain. The long-awaited reveal came amid news of the group's first new music release since the death of frontman Chester Bennington, a new album and a supporting tour called "From Zero." Bennington died by suicide in 2017.
Jaime voiced his disapproval via Instagram on Monday, writing in a Story post that Linkin Park co-founder Mike Shinoda “silently erased my father’s life and legacy in real time… during International Suicide Prevention Month.”
