Back in April, Orgy frontman Jay Gordon revealed that Linkin Park was going to reunite and hire a female lead singer, although he later attempted to walk back those comments by saying: “Don’t quote me on that. I’m not sure who the singer is gonna be, but I heard it was gonna be female. They might just try to move on like that. That ought to be interesting.”

Linkin Park has not performed live since an October 27, 2017 tribute concert for lead singer Chester Bennington, who died by suicide on July 20, 2017, less than two weeks after performing his last show with the group.
