New LINKIN PARK members EMILY AMRSTRONG and COLIN BRITTAIN address what it feels like to join a band that already has a massive legacy and how they’re dealing with fan expectations.

 

“I’m still kind of figuring it out as well. But it’s a chance of a lifetime, really. It’s so much fun. Every day has just been an absolute blessing… and I do not take it for granted one bit,” Armstrong told Billboard Philippines. While it has only been a month since the world found out about Armstrong joining the band, she says that writing, recording, and rehearsing their new album “From Zero” this past year has been one of the best years of her life. “It just keeps getting better,” she said.

Brittain, echoing Armstrong’s sentiments, added: “It doesn’t really feel real, still. But I’ve also known these guys for such a long time now. I grew up as the oldest of five and so, I’ve never had older brothers, older sisters. That sort of thing. And these guys have really brought me in and sort of became my older brothers a little bit, especially in such a competitive industry.”
