I will say, there were rumors about linkin park coming back with a female lead a good while before emptiness machine dropped, so someone certainly talked, just not in a big way
Actually when they did that timer thing I saw some reddit posts talking about Emily Armstrong, which was unknown to me at the time, when I heard dead Sara + the other singers like Bonnie and Amy speaking out about having nothing to do with it + the rumors (jay Gordon and billboard), it was clear it was her. Then on Sept 5th, I was not surprised at all when i saw her
It really is mind blowing the amount of people who kept it secret. The band, the tour and behind the scenes crews, the various venues and ticket sellers, managers etc so many people had to keep it a secret. Like sure there were some rumors out an about but nothing concrete ever leaked
I remember that there were talks maybe three months prior to that live stream of having a front woman and someone made an Instagram reel saying that it was the singer from Stand Atlantic. That rumor ended up being half right with a different woman. I did not expect it would be Emily Armstrong just because her band at the time wasn't a household name, but still had a decent following. Listening back to her band and with the new album out now, it made a lot of sense having her in the band now and I'm all for it.
I’m glad that it wasn’t a singer with a household name. Not to many people knew who Emily or Dead Sara were so it was a nice surprise and a great fit too. Just bought tickets to their concert next September. I’m stoked to see Linkin Park back again and I’m excited to see and hear Emily live. Emily was the perfect choice for Linkin Park.
@@hero17222 Jay Gordon made an itw months ago, at some point they were talking about Linkin Park (while in hiatus) and he was chillin like "LP ? Oh yeah they are making some tests and rehearsals with a new female vocalist" It's been a huge sh*tstorm, and days after he was like "Oh that wasn't why I wanted to say" Dude 😂
nope its comeback because they are back as LP. if you say rebirh it will mean they are back but as a different bend just like reincarnation in some religion you will be reincarnated but not the same person
Yass living to fans! I’m all here for a new chapter but just don’t say anything instead than the whole nothing is happening comments during paper cuts anniversary edition smh
@@grimjar2292 Lol mine was the opposite. I was born with mine and had to use glasses as a kid to fix it. They did work but I still do have it. It’s not that big of a deal to me but some days can be worse than others where it really drifts and I hate it when it does that. Surprisingly I think only 1 person has asked me about it in my whole life. Not bad for having it for 32 years lol
Sorry Mike you should have never brought back Linkin Park. Because there is no Linkin Park without Chester. You should have created new band so Emily can walk her own path and have her own legacy. Because she can't fill Chester shoes. I think that be the most respectful thing to do for Chester and Emily. But if you continue with Emily being lead singer for Linkin Park it will not last and Emily will have to start all over again. That's my opinion. If anyone disagrees, then prove it with sources of facts and evidence. If you cannot. Then you're proving you're a paid troll.
@derwolle4502 If you truly disagree, then come back with facts and evidence to prove I'm wrong. One question why do you care of my opinions? If you don't like them you could also ignore.
Maybe because Bennington was a victim and scientology does all the terrible things to victims. Even Emily tried to protect a perpetrator same as Ashton Kutcher und Mila Kunis. Its all a digustin cult. And people wonder why p diddy or weinstein are so big.
Eh..... now they're just a tribute band really..... she can sing but far too raspy. They should rename the band with her..... not a fan but congrats to them.
Linkin Park is not back. Its just Mikes new band playing the same songs as Linkin Park. Nothing new, this happens all the time when bands break up. But he should just accept that LP is over.
0:16 Emily looks like that one penguin from Madagascar
RICO!!!

orgy singer if im not mistaken
wasnt Amy Lee going around for a moment.
Jay Gordon went around in April and said that he's heard they're coming back with a female vocalist.
@@selfoblivionalex6262 yeah that was more wishful thinking than a rumor tbh. Amy Lee shot that down in an interview.
Actually when they did that timer thing I saw some reddit posts talking about Emily Armstrong, which was unknown to me at the time, when I heard dead Sara + the other singers like Bonnie and Amy speaking out about having nothing to do with it + the rumors (jay Gordon and billboard), it was clear it was her.

They were meant to be! ❤
0:23 "If you only knew modafucka..." 😂😂😂
Sometimes you can hear a singer's pure power when listening to their TALKING voice. She's absolutely one of those.

I didn't pay much attention to it till I saw season 2 of Arcane..... 🥰
So no one asked about Jay Gordon spoiling the surprise?
any clip of that?
He's not a real one
Who?
Jay Gordon almost screw it all honestly.
yup that was close
I was waiting for them to mention that.
How? Haven't heard about this

Dude 😂
So what?
Long live Queen Emily❤
the socks and sandals ahh look is fire XD
Zach Sang = Peter Schrager’s long lost brother 🤣💀
Nice story!!
The singer from Orgy almost leaked the surprise though
Jay Gordon leaked it in like March lol
nope its comeback because they are back as LP. if you say rebirh it will mean they are back but as a different bend just like reincarnation in some religion you will be reincarnated but not the same person
Well 1 friend did leak it
What are Emilys shoes?!?
Try Google lens
@@andreylucass no
Do mike and Emily have the exact same eyes in the thumbnail
Wich jacket is mike shinoda wearing ??
I think I'm in love with Emily
man, that means people dont respect marvel. like their 'secret' stuff keeps leaking like a waterfall lol
They keep it also a secret what scientology does to all the victims. Even Emils sisters defames victimes.
Yass living to fans! I’m all here for a new chapter but just don’t say anything instead than the whole nothing is happening comments during paper cuts anniversary edition smh
Just noticed emily has a lazy eye lol
i noticed that first clip i saw her lol like her eyes are crazzyyyy she looks cool tho
Oh she does! I never noticed that before. I have a lazy eye too. I think mines worse than hers though haha.
@49ersFan415 to be fair I only get a lazy eye once I use my glasses for a long period of time lol
@@grimjar2292 Lol mine was the opposite. I was born with mine and had to use glasses as a kid to fix it. They did work but I still do have it.

Americans love saying "like" 😂
I like it
Like totally.
Californians 😀
It’s a filler word, how some people say “umm”

@derwolle4502 I can give my opinion all I want. It is called freedom of speech.
@derwolle4502 your insults and hatred towards me. Won't help you in any way.
@derwolle4502 If you truly disagree, then come back with facts and evidence to prove I'm wrong.
One question why do you care of my opinions? If you don't like them you could also ignore.
@@chuckw7274My comment is gone. Looks like US American pussies aren't supporters of "free speech" after all. Pathetic.
🫵 Fluffy 😂
They really tried, for 7 years they’ve not done music.
Her eyes look wonky in the thumbnail
She’s got a lazy eye 🥺
It wasn’t a secret.. It was actually well known they were coming back with a female lead
well know by hmmm a subgroup of no ones? because clearly the public did not know
@ The public did know… It was announced but they didn’t announce who was going to be the female vocalist
No one knew dummy. Even when they posted the 100h countdown people were clueless
I reunion tour was rumored, not new music
Emily, fantastic artist, fantastic girl but she wears terrible shoes
I don’t know why but the whole Scientology thing has just soured the reunion in my opinion
okay bye! Don't come back!
Maybe because Bennington was a victim and scientology does all the terrible things to victims. Even Emily tried to protect a perpetrator same as Ashton Kutcher und Mila Kunis. Its all a digustin cult. And people wonder why p diddy or weinstein are so big.
I dare the interviewer to ask her about Scientology.
"Comeback"
Its a new band with the same name. Thats all
Eh..... now they're just a tribute band really..... she can sing but far too raspy. They should rename the band with her..... not a fan but congrats to them.
shut the f up shes an amazing singer
Linkin Park is not back. Its just Mikes new band playing the same songs as Linkin Park. Nothing new, this happens all the time when bands break up. But he should just accept that LP is over.
Mike looks wired af man. Maybe too much booger sugar
Linkin Farce
Scientologists are excellent at keeping secrets
If you only kneeewwwwwwww…..how bad we are going to fuck up LP. Man that new album is garbage. Go ahead and go back to keeping it a secret.
Cope harder loser.
