Linkin Park releases ‘Lost’ single with Chester Bennington vocals
Linkin Park is set to release their ‘Meteora 20th Anniversary Edition’ April 7, which features ‘Lost’ single with late band member Chester Bennington’s vocals. The singer died in 2017.
The track has been unearthed from the band’s archives and will be released in celebration of the album’s 20th anniversary.
“Finding this track was like finding a favorite photo you had forgotten you’d taken, Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda said in a statement, “like it was waiting for the right moment to reveal itself.”
“For years, fans have been asking us to release something with Chester’s voice, the musician continued, “and I’m thrilled we’ve been able to make that happen in such a special way.”
“I think they’re going to be floored when they hear and see all the incredible unreleased songs and video footage in Meteora 20.”
The album also contains several other unreleased songs.
