“We are proud of what Linkin Park has become over the years, and excited about the journey ahead.”
Online fans seem to be reacting differently to the news, although many have supported Linkin Park’s choice to include Armstrong in the lineup.
“Emily Armstrong is actually a pretty great choice as a new vocalist for Linkin Park,” a Twitter user said.
Although I wasn’t quite convinced that Linkin Park needed a female singer, she sounds amazing live. Sounds quite similar to Chester, yet distinct enough to avoid being a blatant copy.”
Another said, “People will despise Linkin Park just as much as they loathed Adam Lambert when he initially performed with Queen.
