Lincoln Park recruits a new lead singer? Mike Shinda: Let it happen naturally

Mike Shinoda, one of the lead singers at Lincoln Park, recently mentioned the band's recruitment of a new lead singer. In an interview with Rock Antenne, he was asked if Lincoln Park would consider recruiting a new lead singer in the future, considering that former lead singer Chester Bennington committed suicide in 2017, And Shinda responded: "This is not the person I am now. I think it has to happen naturally. If we find a great guy and then the personality is also very compatible, and the taste style is also very suitable, then I think we can also try to make something out with him first. ”

He stressed in particular that even if there is an update in the membership, it is not to replace Bennington, "We never want to replace Chester." ”

Lincoln Park business was suspended for a time because of Bennington's death, and in another interview, Shinda said that the band's life without recording and not appearing on stage was "very unhealthy." "If the thing is that we need someone to join in to make music and make good music, then we're happy. I think a lot of fans are also looking forward to seeing the band get back on stage and continue to hear our music. Shinda expressed confidence in the box office at Lincoln Park.

The death of former lead singer Chester Bennington is a fatal blow to Lincoln Park's global fans, including many netizens on the Chinese Internet who have launched mourning activities. The continued fan attention and nostalgia for the past is a spur to Lincoln Park, and Shinda feels that this force will let the band go down. "Like I said, it has to vocalize naturally, and I wouldn't put up a poster in a high profile and say: We're recruiting the lead singer! I think it's completely inappropriate, it's a terrible idea. ”

Last December, Lincoln Park bassist Dave "Phoneix" Farrell also hinted that the band's new song was coming, revealing that the band still enjoyed getting together to create.
