Linkin Park Rumored to Return with a Female Lead Singer

July marks seven years since Chester Bennington’s untimely passing—a moment that shattered not just his family and friends, but the entire world of Linkin Park fans. His death wasn’t just tragic; it was a full stop. A band frozen in time. Their response? A live tribute album, some reissues, and a vow: No plans for a reunion. Ever.

But here we are. Rumors swirling. Jay Gordon of Orgy—yes, the “Blue Monday” guy—casually let something slip in an interview on Mike Z’s Wired In The Empire for KCAL 96.7. A big something. (Like, major.)

“Very, very cool guys and obviously a great band. They’ve been around a long time and they’re still going for it. It’s going to be tough without Chester [Bennington], but we’ll see. I hear they got a girl singer now. That’s what I heard.”

Excuse me?! Not only is Linkin Park possibly reuniting, but they might be doing it with a female lead singer? Did we just step into an alternate timeline? Because that’s not just news—it’s a category 5 shockwave.

Naturally, Gordon realized mid-blab that he might have said too much. His recovery attempt? A feeble, “Forget I said that!” maneuver.

“Don’t quote me on that. I’m not sure who the singer is going to be, but I heard it was gonna be female. They might just try to move on like that. That ought to be interesting.”

Oh Jay. Sweet, sweet Jay. You’ve already spilled the beans. (And the internet doesn’t forget, buddy.)

So what does this mean? Are we really about to see Linkin Park rebooted with a fresh, female voice? Is this genius? Or madness? Hard to say. One thing’s for sure: It’s going to light up the fanbase—for better or worse.

Nostalgia’s the name of the game these days (looking at you, Pantera). If this is true, Linkin Park could be on the brink of reimagining their legacy. Or rewriting the rulebook. Or… both? Either way, buckle up. Things are about to get interesting.
