Few days earlier, Former Stone Temple Pilots frontman created a buzz saying, he heard that the current frontman and the band are parting ways.
Turned out to be a surprise as Bennington has been sharing space within the band Stone Temple Pilots while being up with Linkin Park since 2013.The balance between two bands and family to look forward to wasn’t working out for Chester all at once.
Chester revealed parting his way by giving Linkin Park, the 100% it needed.
Chester said,
” The last few years have been an amazing experience. I got to create and perform with one of the greatest rock bands of our generation, that had so much influence on me growing up. With the amount of time STP deserves, in addition to being in Linkin Park, and with the needs of my family, one of them always seems to fall short. Going in to this, the four of us…Robert, Eric, Dean and myself knew what we were up against. We decided in due fairness to friends, fans and the legacy of STP that it needs more than time was allowing me. And in all fairness to my bandmates in Linkin Park, as well as to myself and to my family, I’m going to focus solely on Linkin Park so I can contribute 100%. It’s been an amazing experience and a dream come true, and I look forward to the future of both STP and Linkin Park.“
While further, rest band members declared that they’ve started the further songwriting process and a few among the material is already recorded.
The band members also showed their attachment towards Chester and expressed their sadness over the fact that the time wasn’t working for them on both parts.
