Earlier this month, Orgy frontman Jay Gordon sparked rumours of Linkin Park’s impeding return with a new female vocalist. When pressed during an interview about what he had let slip, Gordon continued by saying: “Don’t quote me on that. I’m not sure who the singer is going to be, but I heard it was gonna be female. They might just try to move on like that. That ought to be interesting.”
Later, Gordon issued a statement clarifying his comments: “With regards to this linkin park singer thing,” he wrote. “I know nothing about any of that. People sure do love to take my words out of context. I love those guys and wish them the best.”
Now, however, rumours of Linkin Park potentially being led by a female vocalist have seen people suggesting that Evanescence’s Amy Lee will replace the late Chester Bennington, who tragically died in 2017.
In a new interview with Canada’s iHeart Radio, Amy Lee emphatically shut down rumours that she has been in talks with Linkin Park to step in on vocal duties: “That is an incredible compliment. I have not heard that. No, I have not been contacted or anything like that. But [I’m a] huge fan feel like our worlds, our fanbases are a lot of the same people.
