Chester Bennington's son Jaime hits out at Mike Shinoda for "betraying trust" of Linkin Park fans with Emily Armstrong

Chester Bennington’s son has criticised Mike Shinoda for the Linkin Park comeback, accusing him of “betraying trust” of fans.

Now, Jaime Bennington – the son of the late frontman – has taken to social media to share his thoughts on the reformation with Armstrong, and criticise Shinoda for “betraying” Linkin Park fans with the decision. Taking to his Instagram Stories last night (September 8), Bennington shared a screenshot of recent comments made by Shinoda in which the founding member addressed how fans may need “time to wrap their heads around” the band reforming with Armstrong. “The pattern says that historically, people who express alternative views to the mainstream narrative are marginalised and shut down…I DO NOT SUPPORT,” he added, as well as sharing that he had reached out to both Linkin Park’s team and Shinoda himself requesting tickets to “observe” the band’s upcoming show in Los Angeles.
