The Halestorm frontwoman posted a video of her piano-led rendition on Instagram on Wednesday (28 August),the same day that Linkin Park’s mysterious 100-hour countdown came to an end.
The singer also added to the speculation over whether she would be named as the band’s new singer when she liked several comments that speculated that she might be involved in their rumoured reunion.
Linkin Park launched the 100-hour countdown timer on their web site and official social media accounts on Saturday 24 August. The same countdown timer was shared by the Instagram account of Welcome To Rockville, sparking speculation that a new iteration of the band will play next year’s festival, set to take place 15-18 May 2025 in Daytona Beach, Florida.
When the countdown ended, the band posted the following message on their socials, “Be part of something. September 5th. LinkinPark.com.” Around the same time, fans posted that they’d received an email from the band inviting them to a mysterious event, also on 5 September.
Rumours of a Linkin Park comeback began in April, when Orgy vocalist Jay Gordon, a former collaborator of the band’s, said they were returning with a female vocalist taking the place of the late Chester Bennington. Gordon soon retracted the claim. Evanescence singer Amy Lee denied that she was the female vocalist in question.
A month later, Billboard reported that Linkin Park will be reforming for a tour and festival dates in 2025. One source told the publication that the singer replacing Bennington will be a woman.
Linkin Park released a greatest hits album, Papercuts (Singles Collection: 2000–2023), back in April.
