Bassist Dave Farrell spoke about the future of Linkin Park and the support of their fans
During an appearance on SiriusXM radio, bassist Dave Farrell spoke about the future of Linkin Park . He was asked what the plans are in terms of new music, almost a year and a half after Chester Bennington 's death .
“That’s a big question. I think the easiest way to answer that is simply to say I don’t know,” Phoenix said. “The five of us love any opportunity to get together. We hang out a lot. I think we’ll get back to making music. We all want to. We still enjoy being together. But we have a huge process to figure out what we want and what that’s going to look like. I’ve never been through this before and I haven’t completely finished the grieving process. So, I don’t know when that might happen.”
Farrell further added: “To be fair, one of the things I find ridiculously cool about Linkin Park fans is how supportive they are of us. Social media, notoriously, can be a really negative place. And with our fans, it’s become 99.9% positive. ‘We’re here. We want to know what you’re doing. We want to engage, but we understand. We also want to be healthy and happy and do what’s best for you.’”
According to Phoenix, the band hears these messages. “We receive it. We understand it from our community and our fanbase. And it’s something very, very special. I can’t say ‘thank you’ enough for that.”
