Linkin Park star Emily Armstrong's whopping band pay day and $1.5million net worth

Emily Armstrong, the lead singer of Dead Sara, has joined the legendary rock group Linkin Park since the group's dissolution.

 Last Friday, Linkin Park said that Emily would replace Chester Bennington, who served as the band's main singer until his suicide in 2017.  Interest in Emily, particularly her present net worth, has grown since she was chosen to be Chester's successor.  Emily has a net worth of $1.5 million as of this year, part of which she acquired while dating Dead Sara.

Before disbanding in late 2023, she led the rock group Dead Sara, which charged between $500 and $700 a show in the US.

 Since joining Linkin Park, Emily is causing a stir.  Of the band's remaining members—Rob Bourdon, Brad Delson, Mike Shinoda, Dave Farrell, and Joe Hahn—she is the newcomer.  In their live-streamed performance that revealed her arrival earlier this month, Mike and Emily debuted the reworked Linkin Park song, "The Emptiness Machine."

The debut song from Linkin' Park's new album, From Zero, is titled "The Emptiness Machine," and it will be released on November 15.  From Zero will be their first album since One More Light, which was released in 2017, just months before Chester passed away in July of that year.

 Fans who were eagerly awaiting Linkin Park's next album poured comments on X following their major surprise.  Although many were thrilled to see Linkin Park returning, they acknowledged that they would need some time to get used to Emily taking Chester's place.

Many fans expressed openness about missing Chester, but they were more insistent that Emily not be viewed as a "replacement" but rather as the "new chapter" in the music group's history.

 I adore it!  Regardless of what others may say, Emily is a perfect fit!  Another raved, "I've been a fan of Linkin Park since the beginning, and I was heartbroken when Chester left us."  "This new chapter of @linkinpark looks amazing, Emily you are killing it - Hearing these songs again is emotional."
