Linkin Park in 2024 is new vocalist Emily Armstrong and new drummer Colin Brittain in place of Rob Bourdon alongside classic members Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, Dave "Phoenix" Farrell, Joe Hahn. For their live shows, Delson is being filled in for by guitarist Alex Feder.
So new lineup, new music, tour dates, all that – but why come back as Linkin Park? Why not resurrect the old Xero name or come back as another band? According to Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda in an interview with Q101, it just felt right to come back as Linkin Park.
"In the middle of the process, we were open to, like, maybe the lineup is like a moving lineup, maybe there's multiple vocalists, maybe it's a different name, stuff like that," said Shinoda.
"And then as the music came into focus, we were, like, 'This is as Linkin Park an album as we could make. It's so Linkin Park that if we call it something else, then we are idiots.' Because it would be like misrepresentation. It'd be silly. And when people hear more of the album, they will understand that."
