Linkin Park’s fresh start, which includes its new lead singer Emily Armstrong, hasn’t gone over well with fans. Today (September 9), the band’s late frontman Chester Bennington’s son Jaime slammed its co-founder Mike Shinoda over the appointment and accused him of “quietly erasing” his father’s life and legacy.
Over on Instagram, Jaime penned a length message to Mike. In screenshots captured by TMZ (viewable here), Jaime outlined the three biggest gripes he claims Linkin Park has with the band’s “reinvention.”
“[Fans] are having a hard time wrapping their head around how you hired your friends of many years Emily Armstrong to replace Chester knowing Emily’s history in the church,” he wrote. “And her history as an ally to Danny Masterson is what it is.”
