Susan Eubanks, the mother of late Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington, is upset with the band’s recent decisions. In an interview with Rolling Stone, she shared her feelings of betrayal after learning that Linkin Park had reunited and added a new lead singer, Emily Armstrong from the band Dead Sara, without informing her.

Eubanks said the band promised to let her know if they ever decided to reunite. However, she only found out through a Google search and later watched a livestream where Armstrong sang some of Chester’s parts. She was very upset, feeling that Armstrong didn’t do justice to her son’s songs and that it seemed like the band was trying to erase Chester’s memory.

Eubanks also mentioned that during Chester’s life, guitarist Mike Shinoda had threatened to replace him with a female singer if he ever left the band. She believes this situation is hurtful and feels that Armstrong should not sing her son’s songs.

The band has not yet commented on the matter, and reactions to the reunion are mixed among fans. Some are happy the band is back, while others are upset about Armstrong’s involvement, especially due to her past support of actor Danny Masterson. Chester's son, Jaime, also spoke out against the reunion, saying it feels like his father's legacy is being erased.

For Eubanks, the best way forward would be for the band to release new songs without trying to replace Chester’s performances with someone else.
