Emo Rockers LINKIN PARK Share Previously Unreleased Track Featuring Their Late Vocalist Chester Bennington

Famous Californian rockers LINKIN PARK will not come back as
a band following lead singer Chester Bennington‘s suicide in 2017.

Mike Shinoda: “The only Linkin Park news I have for you is that… Yeah, we talk
every few weeks — I talk to the guys, or some of the guys. And there’s no tours, there’s
no music, there’s no albums in the pipeline. Okay, so let me just tell you that. So just
keep in your minds that that is not happening.”

Instead they revisit older material. In 2020, they re-released debut LP Hybrid Theory featuring unreleased songs. And last year they made their fans happy with a deluxe version of Minutes To Midnight , from 2007.

And they’re not done yet.

A special 20th-anniversary edition of Meteroa waits in the pipeline to be unleashed.
It features a previously unreleased song, named LOST featuring Bennington’s vocals.

Listen/watch.
