The future of Linkin Park became a hot conversation after vocalist Chester Bennington died in July. Bennington was one of the band's frontman. The death of Bennington is not only surprising Linkin Park, but also fans around the world.
Unfortunately, Mike Shinoda who also frontman Linkin Park could not ensure the fate of his band.
"I can not tell you what's going to happen with the band, there's really no answer [about Linkin Park's fate]," Shinoda said while talking to Vulture.
Shinoda continued, "Being funny when I say anything about the fate of Linkin Park, it will be a headline, that's stupid because the answer [of Linkin Park's] fate is no answer." He was just as curious as a fan about that fate.
Speculation that Linkin Park will be dispersed arises because Shinoda has a solo project. Later he reportedly busy working on the latest solo album. Last January he has released a mini album titled Post Traumatic. That he deliberately dedicated to Bennington.
As a follow-up, Shinoda will release an album titled the same on 15 June. Two songs of which are Crossing a Line and Nothing Makes Sense Anymore.
Shinoda admitted the difficulty of making music without his collaborators at Linkin Park, Bennington.
"A week after Chester left, the idea of being in the music studio was frightening, and it was not just the idea of making a song, but also the sadness of his memories," he said.
"There is a layer of fear for an artist in this condition, 'What if I can not make something nice without him?'" Shinoda continued. The fear then made him nervous. Shinoda hoped nobody else felt like it.
If people experience something like this, I hope they do not feel this alone. If they have never been past this, I hope they feel grateful.
