Earlier this year, Orgy frontman Jay Gordon said that Linkin Park might be continuing soon with a female vocalist. “Very, very cool guys and obviously a great band,” Gordon said. “They’ve been around a long time and they’re still going for it. It’s going to be tough without Chester, but we’ll see. I hear they got a girl singer now. That’s what I heard.”
Recent rumors have tied Evanescence singer Amy Lee to the spot, but she told iHeart Radio that’s not the case, though she might consider stepping in part time.
“That is an incredible compliment,” she said when told she was a fan-favorite to take over for Linkin Park. “I have not heard that. No, I have not been contacted or anything like that. But I’m a huge fan and feel like our worlds, our fanbases are a lot of the same people.”
Lee continued: “That’s really sweet. We never… Well, did we play shows? I don’t know if we were on a festival together or whatever. We met. We were in the studio at the same time. When we were making ‘Fallen’, I just briefly got to have a conversation or two with Chester. He was really sweet. But no, it’s not true (that I’m the new singer). But that’s awesome. They should ask me about that. I don’t have a ton of free time, but I might do it part time.”
