Linkin Park has been appearing in headlines again as the band members mark the 20th anniversary of their "Meteora" album.
"Where Is Linkin Park Now?" became fans' most-used line since the band went on a hiatus following a 2017 tribute concert for Chester Bennington. The group has since promoted the 20th anniversary releases of its first two albums, but its future as a band remains blurry to everyone.
Will Linkin Park Return to Music Industry?
The recent celebration of Linkin Park's albums led fans to ask whether the group would be back for good. Bassist Dave "Phoenix" Farrell recently said the band "still has something to say" but clarified that, unfortunately, the members are not working on anything yet.
In an interview with Loudwire Nights' Kevin Vargas, Farrell expressed his desire to reunite with Linkin Park members and officially end their hiatus with "something."

"There's five guys that are in all different places. We're still close. We still keep in contact. There's zero animosity, which is awesome," he said, adding. "These guys are guys that mean so much to my life and are really the only guys that can related to some of these crazy things that I've gone through, so each one of them kind of has a special place in my heart."
Farrell also shed some light on Linkin Park's future, noting that the members are currently on their own path. They also reportedly have different points of view when it comes to the band.
For his part, the bassist said he thinks the band still has a lot of stuff to share in the future. Phoenix added that everything would be worthwhile if someone in the band passionately leads the charge on an idea.
Linkin Park Members "In Touch" Despite Hiatus
Farrell's comment resonated with what Mike Shinoda said during a Twitch livestream in 2022.
The co-vocalist told fans that the members had been talking every few weeks. However, he clarified that the talks did not lead, yet, to tours, music, or albums.
Shinoda clarified that those things were not happening, saying it was the only update he could offer for now. He also asked everyone not to "start up the hype train" since it would only result to disappointment.
There were reports in 2019 that the band was looking for a new frontman, but Shinoda immediately dismissed the claims.
