Meet Emily Armstrong, Rock Band Linkin Park’s New Lead Singer

Hollywood News: Linkin Park is one of the most renowned contemporary rock bands based out of California. After their lead singer, Chester Bennington died due to allegedly committing suicide, the California-based band went into an indefinite hiatus. After a 7-year-long hiatus, the American rock band has returned and introduced two new members Emily Armstrong, and new drummer Colin Brittain. They also announced a new album on September 5.

Who is Emily Armstrong?

Emily Armstrong is an American singer, songwriter and musician. She began to write songs and play guitar at the age of 11 and started to sing at the age of 15. Even before her debut in the band, she had gained recognition as a singer from songs including Strong, Urgent Sound and Grace Slick among others. Armstrong comes from the alt-rock band Dead Sara

Colin Brittain, on the other hand, is a songwriter and producer who has worked with Papa Roach, One OK Rock and All Time Low, among others. Interestingly, she has also performed live with artists, including Demi Lovato, Awolnation and Robby Krieger of the Doors.

What is a link between Emily Armstrong and Danny Masterson? Know the controversy around them

After the reveal of Emily Armstrong as part of the band Linkin Park, the lead singer faced heavy backlash from the netizens. This is because of her connection with the actor Danny as his ties with the Church of Scientology and her past support of the convicted rapist.

The vocalist, recently, took to the Instagram post and clarified the matter. She wrote, “Hi, I’m Emily,” I’m new to so many of you, and I wanted to clear the air about something that happened a while back. Several years ago, I was asked to support someone I considered a friend at a court appearance, and went to one early hearing as an observer. Soon after, I realized I shouldn’t have. I always try to see the good in people, and I misjudged him. I have never spoken with him since."

At 41, he died by suicide shortly after the release of the group's last album, One More Light. In the years since, Linkin Park has dropped a number of re-releases, including 20th-anniversary editions of Hybrid Theory, Meteora and, this year, the career-spanning greatest hits collection, Papercuts.

The American Rock Band have announced a new album titled From Zero, which will release on November 15 this year, and also includes a six-date international tour.
