Emily Armstrong, Dead Sara’s co-vocalist, has been chosen as lead singer, while Colin Brittain, producer and songwriter, has been selected for the position of drummer. This new adventure promises to be an emotional one for fans.

The band made this major announcement simultaneously with the release of The Emptiness Machine, the first single from their forthcoming album, From Zero, due for release in November.

The single is their first original track since 2017’s One More Light , which was tragically released just two months before Chester Bennington passed away.

In addition to the two new recruits, two of Linkin Park’s three original co-founders, Mike Shinoda and Brad Delson, return to the band, alongside bassist Dave Phoenix Farrell and DJ Joe Hahn.

In parallel with the release of its album, Linkin Park has announced a mini-tour, From Zero World Tour, to mark this new beginning celebrating the band’s past, present and future.

The tour will include six concerts, scheduled in Los Angeles, New York, Hamburg, London, Seoul and Bogota, between September 11 and November 11.

The From Zero album is scheduled for release on November 15.
