Linkin Park has made a triumphant return with a new lineup and their first new music release since the tragic passing of lead singer Chester Bennington in 2017. The band introduced new singer Emily Armstrong and drummer Colin Brittain during a livestream event, where they showcased their latest single, 'The Emptiness Machine.'

Armstrong's powerful vocals, reminiscent of Bennington's style but with her own unique flair, were on full display as the band performed some of their classic hits like 'Somewhere I Belong.' The new lineup, which includes returning members Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, Phoenix, and Joe Hahn, received a warm reception from fans.

Linkin Park also announced the upcoming release of their new album, 'From Zero,' scheduled to drop on November 15. The album title holds significance as a nod to the band's humble beginnings as Xero and their current musical journey.
