Linkin Park has officially launched their reunion tour, titled From Zero to Hero, at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, marking their first proper show since the death of former lead singer Chester Bennington in 2017. Founding member Mike Shinoda emphasized that the reunion is about starting a new chapter rather than erasing the past, expressing excitement about their new lineup featuring Emily Armstrong, who has faced controversy due to her associations with the Church of Scientology and support for convicted rapist Danny Masterson. The band performed a setlist that included both classic hits and new tracks from their upcoming album, From Zero, which is set to release on November 15. Despite the initial euphoria surrounding their return, the band has faced backlash from fans, including emotional criticism from Bennington's son, Jaime, who accused Shinoda of diminishing his father's legacy. Armstrong has responded to allegations regarding her past associations, asserting her disapproval of abuse and distancing herself from Masterson. The concert was well-received, showcasing 27 songs and a renewed energy among the band members.
