Expected to be announced tomorrow. Rumours than Deryck Whibley from Sum 41 will be their new front man. Edit: Deryck Whibley has confirmed his announcement isn't that.
I thought that was the reason they're splitting up to be honest. I'm seeing them in October mainly because they were one of my favourite bands in my teens and I thought it'd be the last opportunity to see them.
I reckon LP will be doing a world tour but with different singers at different locations, so Derek Whibley will be just 1 of a bunch.
Linkin Park are one of my all time favourite bands but I don’t really want this. Would rather them just be left alone now.
Got to say Linkin Park without Chester is like Queen without Freddie Mercury. There must be better options than Derek Whibley though! Corey Taylor would get my vote without really thinking about it.
Rather sit and watch a couple of spice heads turn into zombies in Spoogie park than listen to Linkin Park.
The best option in my opinion would be Bonnie Fraser of Stand Atlantic (great pop punk band similar to Paramore)
I think it'll be fun, but is it really Linkin Park? I fully get that they need to pay their mortgages and whatnot, but just form a new band. Writing songs is supposed to be your job - just do more of it.
