Linkin Park Performs New Single on Tonight Show

Linkin Park made their TV comeback on NBC's The Tonight Show, performing their new single 'The Emptiness Machine,' which features new vocalist Emily Armstrong and marks the band's first release since frontman Chester Bennington's death in 2017. The song debuted at #21 on the Billboard Hot 100, representing Linkin Park's highest chart position in 15 years, and is the lead single from the upcoming album 'From Zero' set for release on November 15. Co-vocalist Mike Shinoda expressed excitement about the band's return and the positive reception from fans during their recent shows. However, the comeback has also sparked controversy over Armstrong's past ties to Scientology and her association with convicted rapist Danny Masterson. The band is currently on a short international tour, with upcoming shows in Germany, the UK, and South Korea, and plans for a longer tour in 2025. This new chapter for Linkin Park has generated significant buzz as they aim to captivate both old and new fans.
