JAKARTA - The iconic band Nu Metal from the United States, Linkin Park has decided on a hiatus since the vocalist's tragic departure, Chester Bennington. Mike Shinoda Cs doesn't seem able to find a replacement for their frontman.

However, recently interesting rumors emerged regarding Linkin Park. They are rumored to already have a new vocalist, will they make a comeback?

The rumors were circulated through Jay Gordon's statement, the vocalist of the band Orgy who is also good friends with LP personnel. In an interview with Wired in the Empire, he heard that the legendary band appointed a female vocalist.

"They are of course very great bands. They have been in the industry for a long time and still have a future, although it will be difficult without Chester," Jay said when asked about his close relationship with the band that owns the Hybrid Theory album.

"The news is that they have female vocalists now. That's what I thought," he said.

This statement certainly invites a lot of reactions in cyberspace. Until finally Jay Gordon made a clarification on his Facebook page on April 2.

"Regarding my statement about vocalist Linkin Park, I don't know for sure about that. People like to twist my words out of context. I love them (Linkin Park) and wish them all the best," Jay wrote.

"I love Chester and no one will ever replace him. I'm not talking about representing Linkin Park, they have their own way of communicating," he said.

When confirmed by NME, Linkin Park representatives are reluctant to comment further. Will the legend really make a comeback someday with a new vocalist? No one can answer. For now, fans can hear Friendsly Fire, the latest release that Chester had recorded some time ago.
