LINKIN PARK Criticized By Fans For Using Backing Tracks at Recent Show

LINKIN PARK is facing some backlash from fans after a recent performance in South Korea on September 28. Fan-recorded videos show that during certain songs, it seems like backing vocal tracks were being used. 

Emily Armstrong, the band's new singer, pulled her microphone away from her face twice, but her voice could still be heard faintly. This happened during the band's new songs “The Emptiness Machine” and “Heavy Is the Crown.”

In the final chorus of “Heavy Is the Crown,” Armstrong held the mic out to the crowd, but her voice continued to sing the chorus. Similarly, during “The Emptiness Machine,” Armstrong stopped singing for a moment, but the vocals kept playing.

Despite the criticism, LINKIN PARK's "From Zero" world tour is doing well. The band sold out their six scheduled shows and even added three more dates in Paris, Dallas, and São Paulo for 2024.


In an interview with Q101 radio station, Mike Shinoda, one of the band’s original members, talked about the band’s new lineup, which includes Armstrong and drummer Colin Brittain. He explained that they thought about changing the band’s name but decided against it because their new music still feels like classic LINKIN PARK.
