Chester Bennington, the iconic lead vocalist of Linkin Park, died by suicide on July 20, 2017, at the age of 41, following a long battle with depression and substance abuse, leaving behind a legacy that deeply resonated with millions of fans worldwide.

During the livestream, Linkin Park debuted their new single, “The Emptiness Machine,” and announced an upcoming album titled From Zero, set for release on November 15. This marks their first album since One More Light, the final record released before Bennington’s death.
