Linkin Park Drops Song Amid New Era Controversy

Linkin Park has decided not to perform 'One More Light' during their current From Zero world tour, as the song has become too emotionally painful following the 2017 death of former frontman Chester Bennington. Originally written for a late label colleague, the song's association with Bennington's passing makes it difficult for the band and fans. The band recently reformed after a long hiatus, now featuring Emily Armstrong as co-lead vocalist—their first female lead—and Colin Brittain on drums. Armstrong's appointment has sparked some controversy among fans and criticism from Bennington's family. Their new album 'From Zero' has achieved strong chart success. Linkin Park aims to maintain an uplifting atmosphere at shows while navigating this new chapter in their career.
