Gene Simmons has offered his views on Linkin Park’s new singer, Emily Armstrong, and the Scientology controversy surrounding the band’s announcement.The nu-metal band announced Armstrong as their lead singer on September 5, following the death of longtime vocalist Chester Bennington in July 2017.The former KISS frontman told Forbes that he was on board with Armstrong getting the role, saying: “It’s great.

I listened. I saw some videos. The new female singer, great. She fits the band. She sounds great and good luck to them. Life is short.

Go out there and live it up, enjoy it. Linkin Park got fans, they want to hear the songs and the music. Why not? There are bands that tour, Lynyrd Skynyrd, lots of bands that barely have any original members or no original members.

People want to hear those songs.”While some fans and critics questioned Linkin Park’s decision to go for a female vocalist rather than a male singer like Bennington, Simmons explained that doing so “breaks the rules”.
