In the end, this Linkin Park reunion is all that matters.  

Indeed, the band—which was previously made up of Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, Phoenix and Joe Hahn and the late Chester Bennington—recently dropped their first single since 2017’s “The Emptiness Machine,” as well as an album, From Zero, which will drop Nov. 15, along with two new supporting members. 

Dead Sara’s Emily Armstrong will come on to support the band following lead vocalist Bennington’s 2017 death. Additionally, the band is bringing on producer Colin Brittain to support them as a drummer. The rock band’s reunion will also see them embark on a six-date arena tour, which will bring them to cities including New York, Los Angeles, Hamburg, London, Seoul and Bogota.  

Following their lead singer’s death, a press release per Variety indicated that Shinoda, Delson, Phoenix and Hahn had begun “quietly” meeting up again and worked with several musicians before finding a “special kinship” with Armstrong and Brittain.  Linkin Park performed for the first time as their newly assembled six-piece in a Los Angeles studio lot Sept. 5 for ticketed fans as well as livestreaming the event through their website.
