After the death of their frontman, the band undertook a long hiatus to mourn the passing of their former bandmate, which lasted until April last year.
During the month, bassist Dave ‘Phoenix’ Farrell of the group said in an interview that there was new music going on, although members were working separately due to the circumstances of the global pandemic.
The following January, Linkin Park released a remix of their debut single, One Step Closer, which was adapted by the hyperpop act 100 gec.
The group then revealed that they would be collaborating with several other artists to offer their fans new interpretations of their songs in the past, in the same vein as their 2001 remix album Reanimation.
