The son of Linkin Park’s late lead singer Chester Bennington, Jaime Bennington, slammed the decision to hire Emily Armstrong as the band’s new vocalist. Jaime, notable for sharing conspiracy theories about his father’s death, also called out Linkin Park’s member Mike Shinoda for “erasing” Chester and betraying the band’s fans.
Taking to his Instagram page on Monday (September 9), Jaime shared his objections to Emily being chosen as Linkin Park’s new lead singer amid a recent Scientology-related scandal unveiling last week.
“Hey Mike! People aren’t having a difficult time wrapping their head around the prospect of Linkin Park reinventing itself,” the 28-year-old wrote on his Instagram Stories. “They are having a hard time wrapping their head around how you: Hired your friend of many years @emilyarmstrong to replace @chesterbe knowing Emily’s history in the church and her history as an ally to @dannymasterson.”
