Jay Gordon, the frontman of Orgy, has issued a statement on his Facebook page after rumors arose that Linkin Park were considering returning with a new female singer. Linkin Park fans were intrigued by Gordon’s comments during a recent interview which suggested that the band was exploring the possibility of a female vocalist. Gordon tried to clarify his comments which have since gained a lot of attention by stating that he knows nothing about any of that and that he loves those guys and wishes them the best.
Gordon appeared on the KCAL 96.7’s Wired in the Empire show and spoke about his relationship with the Linkin Park band members. He mentioned that the group has been around a long time, and they are still going for it. Gordon also expressed that it’s going to be tough without Chester Bennington, but they’ll see. When questioned further, he made remarks about hearing that a woman might be the new singer, but he wasn’t sure who the singer would be. The singer confidently stated that the band would move on, but it would be interesting considering their rich history.
Linkin Park representatives have yet to comment on these rumors. The band is gearing up to release a career-spanning greatest hits album on April 12 via Warner. It includes classics such as ‘In The End’, ‘Burn It Down’ and ‘Numb’ as well as a previously unreleased track starring Bennington, titled ‘Friendly Fire,’ which was recorded during the sessions for the group’s final studio album, 2017’s One More Light. The recording comes with a music video that features never-before-seen studio and live footage.
When speaking to NME last year about Lost, a previously-unheard track from the Meteora period that the band included on the 20th-anniversary re-release of the album, Brad Delson suggested that there may be more unreleased music. Delson declared that their band only got more outlandish with writing songs as they progressed throughout their career, making numerous tracks that never saw the light of day as many fell on their sword to make way for the song heard today. Although he admits it’s challenging to recreate something as special as their greatest hits, Delson admits they have crafted a lot of music along the way.
Linkin Park has been taking on the world of rock music since 1996, becoming one of the most popular bands on the planet. A few years ago, the group successfully incorporated electronic music elements into their rock sound, creating a unique blend that has been attempted by few and perfected by even fewer. Following Bennington’s death in 2017, the band continued to take the world by storm with Chester always in the hearts and minds of fans globally
