Linkin Park, the iconic rock band, has caused quite a stir in the music world today with a mysterious countdown on their website. Fans are eagerly anticipating the reveal, wondering what the band has in store for them.
Since the tragic loss of their frontman Chester Bennington in 2017, Linkin Park has been on a hiatus, leaving many fans wondering when they would return. So, naturally, the countdown has sent fans into a frenzy, especially since it coincided with Oasis' recent announcement.
Rumors have been circulating that Deryck Whibley, frontman of Sum 41, would be joining Linkin Park. This speculation grew even more when Whibley urged American fans to "tune in" on Wednesday morning, which happened to be the same time the countdown ends. However, the 44-year-old singer has since addressed these rumors, clarifying that he is not joining any bands and has his own announcement to make.
On Instagram, Whibley wrote, "I feel the need to dispel some current rumors. It's been brought to my attention that many people think I could be joining a reuniting band." He went on to say that he is not joining Oasis, Linkin Park, or any other band for that matter. "I have my own 'tour and book' announcement that I will now move to the end of the week, ahead of our US tour," he added. Whibley also expressed his excitement to see what both bands have in store for the future.
Linkin Park has been on hiatus since Bennington's death, which devastated the music world. While they have made cameo appearances with other bands, they have not released any new music. Earlier this year, they released a greatest hits album called Papercuts, featuring their classic hits such as "In The End," "Burn It Down," and "Numb." The album also included a previously unreleased track, "Friendly Fire," featuring Bennington's vocals as a tribute to the late frontman.
Whibley had the opportunity to perform as part of Linkin Park's tribute concert, along with members of Blink-182, Korn, Avenged Sevenfold, and Bring Me the Horizon. However, the band's upcoming reveal remains a mystery. Some fans have speculated that they could reunite during the 2025 Welcome to Rockville festival, possibly with a female vocalist.
One name that has been thrown into the mix is Evanescence's lead singer, Amy Lee. In an interview with iHeart Radio in Canada, she addressed the rumors, saying, "That is an incredible compliment, [but] I have not been contacted by [Linkin Park] or anything like that." She also expressed her admiration for the band and their shared fanbase.
