The band has garnered mixed reception for adding the new lead singer following Chester Bennington's death by suicide in 2017

When Chester Bennington died in 2017, he was survived by a total of six children. His oldest, Jaime, has joined the chorus of folks who aren’t happy with the way Linkin Park’s reunion has unfolded, going so far as to accuse co-vocalist Mike Shinoda of “betraying the trust” of Linkin Park fans by hiring new singer Emily Armstrong.

Refusing to hold back his true thoughts, Chester Bennington's son Jaime Bennington slammed Linkin Park bandmate Mike Shinoda for replacing the late singer. Shinoda and the rest of the Linkin Park bandmates returned to the stage with new singer Emily Armstrong seven years after Chester passed away after committing suicide.
