Linkin Park share behind the scenes recap of livestream event with new vocalist and drummer
Linkin Park has released a new episode of their LPTV series titled "From Zero: Part Of Something." The episode highlights their September 5th global livestream concert in Los Angeles, where they introduced new members Emily Armstrong on vocals and Colin Brittain on drums. While Mike Shinoda, Dave "Phoenix" Farrell, and Joe Hahn returned, with Alex Feder temporarily filling in for guitarist Brad Delson, who is stepping back from touring for the time being.
Additionally, the band released a new single, "The Emptiness Machine," and confirmed their upcoming album From Zero will be out on November 15th via Warner, marking their first LP since 2017's One More Light.
In a recent interview with Billboard, frontman Mike Shinoda discussed the band's comeback, confirming that founding drummer Rob Bourdon had decided to exit the group. Bourdon, who had been with Linkin Park since its inception alongside Shinoda and Brad Delson, chose to step away as the band moves into this new chapter.
Shinoda shared:
Rob had said to us at a point, I guess it was a few years ago now, that he wanted to put some distance between himself and the band. And we understood that — it was already apparent. He was starting to just show up less, be in less contact, and I know the fans noticed it too. The 'Hybrid Theory' re-release [in 2020] and 'Papercuts' release [this April], he didn't show up for anything. So for me, as a friend, that was sad, but at the same time, I want him to do whatever makes him happy, and obviously everybody wishes him the best.
This week, Linkin Park will kick off a six-date arena tour, hitting major cities around the globe. The tour will make stops in Los Angeles, New York, Hamburg, London, Seoul, and Bogotá, showcasing their new lineup with Emily Armstrong on vocals and Colin Brittain on drums.
