The Linkin Park guitarist, Brad Delson, announced that he will not be in attendance at their upcoming reunion tour, ‘From Zero.’
In his statement on Saturday, Delson shared his excitement about the band's new chapter with the world. He recalled how bringing their vision to life was full of twists and turns, but they could not have done it without the support and love of everyone around them. However, he will not be touring with the band, as he announced that Alex Feder will be filling in for him.
He continued by showing appreciation for the band's new vocalist, Emily Armstrong, and drummer Colin Brittain. Delson thanked all of his bandmates for their ‘humility, hard work, and friendship’.
“I've always felt deeply connected to and proud of our live performances. Over the years I've realized I thrive most when I'm actively working with my bandmates behind the scenes---in the studio, collaborating on our new music, and helping build our live show,” the guitarist wrote.
“I am so proud of everything we continue to create together. While I will not be performing on tour in this new chapter, I am super excited to introduce Alex--my handsome deputy on the road. Alex is a world-class musician, a kind and thoughtful friend, and we are truly fortunate he'll be contributing his unique talent to our LP universe,” he added.
