JAKARTA - The year 2024 is a historic momentum in the music industry. After the announcement of Oasis' reconciliation, Linkin Park has now made a breakthrough by appointing a new vocalist.

Bukan Hayley Williams atau Amy Lee, pengganti peran Chester sebagai frontperson adalah Emily Armstrong. Ia merupakan vokalis band Dead Sara yang dikenal dengan musik punk dan grunge-nya.

Along with the announcement of Emily's entry, as well as drummer Colin Brittain, Linkin Park released the new single The Employness Machine. Mike Shinode Cs' new work after seven years is something refreshing.

But not all fans agree with Emily's presence as a vocalist. Some hardline fans can't move on from Chester Bennington who is so iconic.

"It's like hearing a cover song, because he's not Chester," said one fan on Linkin Park's Instagram. "I don't like it. I'm sorry, it sounds bad. Nothing can replace Chester's vocals, charisma and energy," said another.

Even so, you could say the number of positive comments dominates more. They realized Emily was not Chester, and this was a new era. Without intending to replace the predecessor, Emily is the one who will continue the struggle of the deceased with Linkin Park's extended family.

"Emily, welcome to the Linkin Park family. We love you," the fans said. "Obviously Chester sees you with a smile from above," said another. "I hope Linkin Park fans are kind to him. He has a great voice and will continue the journey of our band. Mike is still there, so everything will be fine," the fans added.

Meanwhile Linkin Park with a new formation will hold a world tour. The schedule will begin in Los Angeles on September 11 and will continue to New York, Hamburg, Londo, Seoul and Bogota.
