Chester Bennington’s Son Slams Linkin Park for Replacing His Late Father With New Singer Emily Armstrong: ‘You Have Betrayed the Trust’ of Fans
The son of Chester Bennington publicly disapproves of Emily Armstrong as the band's new vocalist, accusing the band of erasing father’s legacy.
Jaime voiced his disapproval via Instagram on Monday, writing in a Story post that Linkin Park co-founder Mike Shinoda had “quietly erased my father’s life and legacy in real time… during international suicide prevention month.” He authored multiple, lengthy paragraphs that highlighted Armstrong’s past, referencing her ties with the Church of Scientology as well as her support of Danny Masterson, who was convicted of raping two women and sentenced to 30 years to life in prison in 2023. Linkin Park, which is made up of Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, Phoenix and Joe Hahn now in addition to Armstrong and Brittain, is scheduled for a six-date arena tour with concerts that include stops in Los Angeles, New York, Hamburg, London, Seoul and Bogota.
