THE OFFSPRING guitarist calls EMILY ARMSTRONG “an AMAZING and BRAVE choice” for LINKIN PARK.
The Offspring’s Kevin “Noodles” Wasserman spoke about Linkin Park’s new singer Emily Armstrong in a recent interview with Marcelo Vieira. Despite some fan criticism of the band’s choice in Armstrong, Noodles thinks she is “an amazing and a brave choice for them,” calling the decision “bold.”
“I know a lot of people aren’t going to accept a female singer – just for whatever reason,” he said. “I think it’s a dumb reason. Emily is amazing. She’s got such an amazing voice. We got to do a tour with [Emily’s other band] Dead Sara before.”
“I wish those guys the best. I hope they’re as successful as ever, ’cause Emily’s amazing and those guys are just great guys and they make great music.”
Fans are buzzing with excitement and curiosity as Emily Armstrong of Dead Sara steps into the role of Linkin Park’s new singer. Social media platforms are flooded with mixed reactions—some praising her raw, powerful voice as a perfect fit for the band’s emotionally charged sound, while others express hesitation about the change. Many commend the band for choosing a vocalist with a strong rock pedigree, seeing it as a bold and respectful way to honor Chester Bennington’s legacy. Fans eagerly anticipate hearing Armstrong’s unique take on classic hits and her influence on future music, marking a transformative era for Linkin Park.
