Linkin Park: Bloke Not Dead
afuture1 by Andrew Future June 11th, 2003
Er, yeah, he’s been released from hospital.

In the continuingly strange promotional campaign for their new album, singer Chester 'DON'T LAUGH AT MY NAME!' Bennington ‘had multiple tests including an MRI, but doctors had trouble diagnosing his symptoms’. Unofficial reports suggest it was trapped wind.

Linkin Park’s Creative Director, Mike Shinoda, proved why he is the main lyrical force behind 20 million albums sold with this insightful remark: ‘They can put cameras to check your stomach. They can check your lower areas, but that lower abdomen is a place where they can't really send anything.’

The band follow the release of new single ‘Faint’ with headline appearances across America and at Reading and Leeds having cancelled their other tour dates in shittier parts of the world during June. They won’t be supporting Four Day Hombre on tour either.

DiScuss: Did Chester have something crawling in his skin?
