Linkin Park has made a comeback, but not everyone was excited about this news. Jamie, son of the band’s late lead singer Chester, voiced his disapproval on Instagram. Jamie addressed the band’s decision to have Emily Armstrong replace his father as the new lead singer.
Emily Armstrong is an American singer-songwriter who joined the band in September, starting a whole discussion on whether she’s a good fit for the band. This decision has left the fandom divided, with some agreeing with him while others feel like he’s just an attention-seeking spoiled brat.
EMILY’S CONTROVERSIAL PAST
Emily Armstrong is a singer and songwriter and a fan of rock music. She picked the guitar up when she was 11 and started singing at 15. In 2002, Emily met Siouxsie Medley, and the two began writing songs together the following year. They debuted as a band, Dead Sara, with their first studio-recorded song, Changes. In September 2024, Emily joined Linkin Park.
Though the name Emily Armstrong isn’t as popular, it already has controversies attached to it. Emily was raised a Scientologist, and when word got out that in 2020, she attended a criminal hearing for the actor and convicted rapist Danny Masterson, a fellow Scientologist member. Fans were livid, forcing Scientology to write a public apology on her behalf.
JAMIE AND HIS STORY
Hard-core fans encourage others not to take Jamie too seriously, and many are concerned and question his mental state. Jamie isn’t a peach, either. He’s always had a bad relationship with his step-mom, Talinda, who had to get a restraining order against him for harassment.
LINKIN PARK FANS THOUGHTS
Though a handful of Linkin Park fans agree with him, and others feel sorry for him, Jaime says that he’s fearing for his life as Linkin Park fans send him death threats. After expressing his feelings about the Linkin Park members, adding Emily, he has received many death threats from Linkin Park fans.
Linkin Park is an alternative band formed in California in 1996 by Mike Shinoda, Rob Bourdon, and Brad Delson. Chester, who was in another band, auditioned for the band in 1999 and ultimately got picked for his vocal abilities and range. Fans who have been with Linkin Park for years believe the band deserves to keep going and are enthusiastic about hearing new music.
CONCLUSION
Jaime Bennington and Linkin Park fans have the right to express their feelings regarding the band’s recent decisions. However, it is important for him and Chester fans to acknowledge how difficult this must be for Emily as well. Not only does she have big shoes to fill, but joining in the height of this mess must be hard on her. Her bandmates must support her, as the mixed reactions from Chester Bennington’s fans, while understandable, create a bitter environment for all involved.
