Linkin’ Park has never been the same, not since Chester said hi s final goodbye.
But the show must go on.

Linkin Park rose to fame in the mid 00s with the uprise of the rock music scene. The band founded by high school friends Mike Shinoda, Rob Bourdon and Brad Delson signed under A&R Zomba Music in 1997. The following year under the recommendation of the band’s manager Jeff Blue they added lead vocalist Chester Bennington to the trio and so began the legacy of Linkin Park. The band grew their success through the releases of their mega hit singles Numb, Lost, New Divide along with a multitude of others.

In the summer of 2017 news broke that Chester Bennington the frontman of the group had tragically passed away leaving the band and their fans in shambles. The news came as a shock for everyone and left the band not knowing how to continue on.

Three years later Linkin Park decided to get back into music as a tribute to their fallen member and have since gone on to release singles such as “She Couldn’t” & “Lost” (Feb 10^th 2023), songs that they had recorded back in the 90s, producing them to the sound of modern Linkin Park.

Now the group is ready to go back on tour to celebrate their 20^th year in the industry, and the question that is repeatedly asked from the group is whether they’ll adapt to modern technology the way many musicians have and bring a hologram of Chester on the road. This modern development in technology allows performers to be present on stage through CGI regardless of whether they are alive or otherwise.

Holograms have become quite the trend among artists in the recent years but Shinoda says that it’s rubbed them the wrong way and seems “creepy”

 "Those are creepy.” He told ‘The buzz’

"Even if we weren’t talking about us, if we weren’t talking about Chester, which is… that’s a very sensitive subject, and we would have our feelings about how we would represent that.
For me, that’s a clear no. I’m not into that.”

“we’re not going to do a hologram show."
