What ́s goin on — Wislla (@wisllamedia) August 24, 2024 Earlier this year, it was reported that the ‘Numb’ hitmakers were planning a 2025 tour and potentially looking to recruit a female vocalist to succeed late frontman Chester Bennington .
The band have been on hiatus ever since the death of Bennington in 2017, who took his own life aged 41. According to reports from Billboard , the band’s booking agency WME are now taking offers for concerts and festivals featuring Mike Shinoda , Brad Delson and Dave Farrell. Though it’s unclear who will succeed Bennington, a source has apparently told Billboard that the band are looking for a female vocalist for their reunion.
Speaking to NME last year , Shinoda opened up about any potential plans for some Linkin Park reissues. “Nothing planned right now. I always just tell people like when there’s news I’ll give you the news.
We’ve been doing it for a while and I think our expectation for what’s a proper reissue is kind of high,” he told us. He continued: “I don’t love putting out Greatest Hits stuff or putting out re-masters of things we’ve done, [so] if we were to do a re-reissue of one of our Linkin Park albums, we want it to be a big deal. If we can’t make it that quality then we won’t do it.
If it’s not great then I don’t think we should do it.” Since that interview, Linkin Park have released the previously unheard ‘Friendly Fire’ with Bennington on vocals , which was originally recorded for the band’s 2017 sessions for ‘One More Light’. They also went on to release ‘Papercuts (Singles Collection 2000-2023)’ in April , a 20-song overview of the band’s best-selling tracks over the past two decades.
