Jaime Bennington, the son of Linkin Park’s late lead vocalist Chester Bennington, voiced out his disapproval over the announcement that Emily Armstrong will be the band’s new lead singer, describing it as an act of “erasing” his father’s legacy.

Jaime took to Instagram on Monday (Sept 9) to call out the rock band, specifically record producer Mike Shinoda, over their decision to welcome Armstrong as the new vocalist, saying that it “quietly erased his father’s life and legacy in real time... during international suicide prevention month.”
