Lincoln Park's reunion tour has hit a snag just days after a surprising announcement featuring new lead vocalist Emily Armstrong. The band revealed this comeback at the weekend, creating excitement among fans. However, the excitement was overshadowed by criticism of Armstrong, who faced allegations linked to her past, particularly her implied support for convicted sexual offender Danny Merson. Critics quickly resurfaced claims that she is a Scientologist and have scrutinized her character in light of Merson's criminal conviction in 2003 for heinous crimes against two women. Amid this controversy, founding member and guitarist Brad Delson has announced that he will not be participating in the upcoming tour. Delson expressed that he thrives in the creative process behind the scenes rather than on stage, which raises questions about the dynamics within the band moving forward. His departure isn't an isolated incident; drummer Rob Borden has also stepped down during the band's recent seven-year hiatus, leaving fans speculating that the inclusion of Armstrong might be affecting band members' willingness to participate. As Lincoln Park navigates this complex situation, fans and observers alike are left pondering the future of the iconic band that has played a significant role in the rock music scene.
