Chester Bennington’s son, Jaime, issued a response via Instagram to Linkin Park’s decision to reform with new singer, Emily Armstrong.
Jaime wrote in an Instagram Story post that co-founder Mike Shinoda “quietly erased my father’s life and legacy in real time… during international suicide prevention month.”
He also went after Armstrong over her ties to the Church of Scientology and her support of actor and convicted rapist, Danny Masterson.
Jaime wrote that Linkin Park’s decision to reform “failed to address the concerns of their diverse fan base.”
He added that the band “betrayed the trust” of their fans.
