Behind the Scenes Discovering Our Band's Unique Sound - Linkin Park
Linkin Park: The Emptiness Machine, New Album & Return to Music
Emily Armstrong of Dead Sara is the new co-lead singer for the US rock band Linkin Park. The news was announced during a live one-hour performance streamed online for fans. Colin Brittain, a songwriter and producer, will also join the group as a drummer.
The announcement came with the release of a new single The Emptiness Machine, the lead track for their coming album From Zero, which will be out on November 15. Linkin Park haven't released any new music since the death of their former lead singer Chester Bennington in 2017.
The group - including Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, Dave “Phoenix” Farrell and Joe Hahn and its two new members - also revealed they will be embarking on a six-date arena world tour.
Who is Emily Armstrong?
Armstrong is an American musician who grew up in Los Angeles. She showed an interest in music from an early age as she learnt guitar at 11 and began singing at 15. In 2005, she co-founded Dead Sara, an alternative rock band known for their high-energy performances that earned her comparisons to Janis Joplin for her vocal prowess.
The group have released three albums: 2012’s Dead Sara, 2015’s Pleasure to Meet You and 2021’s Ain’t It Tragic, as well as three EPs: 2008’s The Airport Sessions, 2017’s The Covers and 2018’s Temporary Things Taking Up Space. Now that Armstrong has joined Linkin Park, there is an unanswered question as to whether Dead Sara will continue on as a band.
After news of her inclusion into Linkin Park, some criticised the band’s decision on social media alleging that Armstrong was a Scientologist as she was seen at the Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre 44th Anniversary Gala in 2013 and had allegedly supported Danny Masterson during his rape trial in 2022.
The group nor Armstrong has yet to comment on this.
Where to watch Emily Armstrong's debut Linkin Park performance?
The group uploaded a video of their live-streamed concert with Armstrong making her debut on KZbin. They began by singing their new single The Emptiness Machine before singing old songs such as Numb, What I've Done and Bleed It Out with Armstrong showing off her vocals.

She is an a typical neurodivergent tomboyish girl like the one's I met in high-school and that's not an insult. She is, in this age, normal - as in broken but authentic
