LinkinPark‘S Michael Shinoda posted a short message on his website on August 12, declaring that he has “so many exciting things planned for you.” That would be an innocuous statement in itself, if it weren’t for the whole “LinkinPark “Reunification in 2025” is a rumor that is circulating.
“Hi everyone! I’ve been locked up in the lab for a while, between some summer trips. So many exciting things planned for you,” wrote Shinoda.
In the meantime, I’ve posted a new piece of art – you can find it in the Bazaar. Those of you who are Zig owners/digital art collectors can use your keys for a discount as usual. See you soon…”
For those who don’t know: Billboard reported in April that LinkinPark is reportedly considering reunion offers for 2025 with a singer. “The booking agency WME is accepting offers for a potential LinkinPark Tour and headliner festival dates with Michael Shinoda, Brad Delson And Dave Farrellsay the sources,” it says in part of Billboard‘s report.
“The band has not specified who will sing on behalf of (late) LinkinPark Singer Chester) Benningtonwho has often been praised as one of the most gifted and consistent vocalists of the 2000s, with a dynamic range tailor-made for the group’s genre-bending style.”
They added: “A source tells Billboard The band hopes to find a female singer to front the reunited band, which is in line with rumors that have been circulating in recent weeks.”
The other interesting aspect of this report is that Turntablist was not mentioned. Joe Hahn and drummer Rob Bourdonboth with LinkinPark in their pre-Bennington Days when they bore the name XeroBut again – this is all just a big rumor at the moment, so who knows if LinkinPark will ultimately return and who will be part of their lineup.
