Linkin Park has stated that in the future, they intend to communicate with their fans “a little more regularly.”
The band, who have been on hiatus since the loss of frontman Chester Bennington in 2017, sent a statement with fans on Instagram this evening (May 3).
“Our LP community continues to inspire us after two decades,” Linkin Park stated. “What we’ve built together with your enthusiasm and dedication is the lifeblood of what we’ve built.” And it’s not going ignored.
“We thought it was about time to begin sharing a little more regularly with you. Starting this month, we’ll be putting (digital) pen to (digital) paper to share NOTES FROM THE BAND-tiny snapshots into our daily misadventures, from us each month.”
They added: “There’s no concrete plan, but that’s what we like about it. Until then…
“All our best, Rob, Brad, Dave, Joe & Mike.”
Mike Shinoda gave fans an update on Linkin Park’s status last month, noting that he and the rest of the band chat “every few weeks.”

During a Twitch broadcast, the musician, who was just appointed Community Innovation Advisor of Warner Recorded Music, discussed the band’s future.
“The only Linkin Park news I have for you is that… Yeah, we talk every few weeks – I talk to the guys, or some of the guys,” Shinoda said. “And there’s no tours, there’s no music, there’s no albums in the pipeline. Okay, so let me just tell you that. So just keep in your minds that that is not happening.”
“I’m just gonna say that much for now,” he continued. “I say that because anytime the band says anything or does anything, everyone tries to start up the hype train, and we’re, like, ‘No, no, no, no. Don’t start up the hype train.’ You’re gonna disappoint yourself. Don’t do that.”
