Jaime Bennington, son of late Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington recently made some claims about his father. Here is what he wrote on Instagram:
“5 days before his death Chester was in the studio recording with @gwatsky, @callmekwudi, and Mike Shinoda.
It appears to me that Watsky’s Instagram is the only record left of this interaction, which is odd considering that @chesterbe posted about ‘KNOTS’ off Watsky’s album
XINFINITY in may of 2017.”
He added:
“Was this interaction somehow deleted from Chester’s Twitter(X)/ Instagram??
If so, who/what deleted it??”
Jaime Bennington, who has been criticizing Linkin Park vocalist Emily Armstrong, has shared his thoughts and concerns about her.
In a new chat with Twenty400 Block Podcast, Jaime was asked how he feels when Armstrong performs his father’s songs.
“I think that it’s a nice karaoke job. I think it sounds like someone having fun for sure,” he responded.
He also shared his concern that Armstrong would hurt her voice and explained why.
“I think she’s going to hurt her voice. I’m very worried that Emily in the long run has hurt her voice. I have a lot of respect for people as people I can understand art is art and that people are people and those are two different things. So I can enjoy Linkin Park as much as I detest some of their actions at the moment. With Emily, I’m just kind of worried that she’s pushing it a little hard.”
Jaime then talked about the backing track rumors. Here is what he said: “I realized that there are people saying that they’re using backing tracks but not just for backing for things that you can’t simultaneously play but you’re also just replacing the vocals just in case she gets drowned out. I also noticed that her mic at the Kio Forum show, it sounded like it on the LP showcase on the 5th and the 11th of September, they seemed like they mixed her vocals really low. Even in the arena, it didn’t sound like she was nowhere near the amount the level of intensity and clarity that Chester was.”
