Linkin Park guitarist Brad Delson has confirmed that he will not be touring with the reunited band. Alex Feder will now be taking his place during live shows.
Delson said the following:
“Beyond excited to share this new chapter with the world.
Bringing our vision to life is the culmination of many twists and turns, as we continue our unique journey together as a band. We couldn’t do it without a belief in what is possible, even when things seem impossible; without the ability to listen, particularly when emotions run deep; and without the support and love of everyone around us. Thank you thank you thank you.
In awe of [new vocalist] Emily Armstrong and [new drummer] Colin Brittain for their talent, passion, and partnership. Deep gratitude to all my bandmates for their humility, hard work, and friendship.
I’ve always felt deeply connected to and proud of our live performances. Over the years I’ve realized I thrive most when I’m actively working with my bandmates behind the scenes––in the studio, collaborating on our new music, and helping build our live show.
I am so proud of everything we continue to create together. While I will not be performing on tour in this new chapter, I am super excited to introduce Alex—my handsome deputy on the road. Alex is a world-class musician, a kind and thoughtful friend, and we are truly fortunate he’ll be contributing his unique talent to our LP universe.
Fresh eyes, honest appreciation, and devoted teamwork have brought us to this special moment. The privilege of sharing our creativity with you. Thank you for joining us on the journey.
-BBB”
This news comes after vocalist, guitarist, etc. Mike Shinoda confirmed drummer Rob Bourdon’s departure from the band. It also comes after Armstrong stirred up controversy due to her alleged ties to Scientology and support of actor and convicted rapist Danny Masterson.
