Linkin Park is gearing up to decide if or how to continue without one of rock’s most identifiable voices, the late Chester Bennington. But in a recent interview, co-vocalist of the band Mike Shinoda, says the band is open to the idea of continuing, though what form that takes has yet to be decided.
“We all thrive making and performing music,” says Shinoda. “I know the other guys, they love to be onstage, they love to be in a studio, and so to not do that would be like … I don’t know, almost like unhealthy.”
Shinoda also said that the band’s large fanbase also is something they take into consideration. “As long as that connection and interest is there, I think that is our driving force to figure out Linkin Park,” he explained. “It’s not my goal to look for a new singer. If it does happen, it has to happen naturally. If we find someone that is a great person and good stylistic fit, I could see trying to do some stuff with somebody. I would never want to feel like we are replacing Chester.”
