It is otherworldly to think of how much time has already passed since the tragic death of Linkin Park's lead singer, Chester Bennington. Now though as the band continues to think of how they might move forward without their frontman, other artists who were working with Chester have begun to question whether they should release their works. Martin Garrix is the latest artist to speak on the topic and did so via a What We Started Q&A session. The Martin Garrix Hub, as always, has been the first to bring the news to the mainstream.
Linkin Park Collaboration
Obviously, Martin was working with Chester and Linkin Park before his passing. While it sounds like the collaboration was in its final stages, it seems it most likely will never be released as a sign of respect to Chester. Martin said there might be a time in the future if he and the band agree it feels right, but for now – it is on indefinite hold.
Martin was quick to say to a disappointed but understanding crowd that he would be releasing a ton of new music very soon. The first from that batch seems to be his long-awaited collaboration with LOOPERS, expected to drop next Friday, April 13th.
"Waiting For Tomorrow was together with Linkin Park and because of Chester's passing it's little bit hard to release the song. I don't know if we're ever gonna release it." – Martin Garrix at What We Started Q/A session. (1/2)

"I hope so, maybe one day. But not soon I think. We're are working on it but I don't know yet. There's a lot of new unreleased music which I'm gonna release very soon." – Martin Garrix at What We Started Q/A session. (2/2)
