Linkin Park and Twenty One Pilots are fueling rumors of a collaboration. Linkin Park recently posted a mysterious 100-hour countdown timer on their social media accounts, with a link to their official website. The website URL was showing a YouTube livestream with the same countdown timer and a live chat full of fan speculation. Many fans were guessing that the band might announce a new vocalist to replace Chester Bennington, who passed away by suicide in July 2017 at age 41. Fans speculated that Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley might have been filling in for the late Chester Bennington.
However, when the countdown reached zero, the timer on their website switched to counting up and it disappointed the fans. Some fans noticed that the timer glitched at specific times, including exactly at 9:04, leading them to think an announcement might come on September 4th.
Meanwhile, Twenty One Pilots recently wrapped up a show in Los Angeles, and something unusual caught the attention of their fans. During the performance, the band censored part of their song and visuals, a move that left many wondering what they were hinting at. The timing of the censorship was particularly curious at exactly 9:04 PM Pacific Time, their lore account, Blurryface, tweeted something cryptic. This has added fuel to the speculation.
Twenty One Pilots are popular for mysterious hints, and this time around, the clues seem to be pointing towards something even bigger.
Linkin Park and Twenty One Pilots working on a song?
The rumors didn’t stop with Twenty One Pilots’ on-stage antics. Shortly after, an unverified rumor surfaced claiming that Linkin Park is set to release a new song in collaboration with Twenty One Pilots. The claim originated from a Twitter leak, but nobody has been able to back the claim and the post itself looked suspiciously fake.
The idea of a collaboration between these two bands has captured the imagination of fans. While the evidence is far from conclusive, the possibility of a Linkin Park and Twenty One Pilots collaboration is an exciting affair.
However, there has not been official confirmation from either band. Regardless of whether the rumors turn out to be true, Linkin Park remains one of the best bands of the past two decades. However, they have been on a hiatus since Chester Bennington passed. We will have to wait and see what the band has in store for the fans.
