LP said in their statement that making music is inextinguishable to them. To me this means they intend to continue but on what path? Their name is a brand. I can't see them changing it. Mike recently endorsed the five arms logo with the ghostly arm of Chester so continuing in his name seems highly likely. So what about singers? I think it would be too much for another male to take Chester's place so how about female? Kiiara in my opinion is the answer. She's young and would inject new ideas into the band but also new energy to compete with Chester's unstoppable force. Maybe she was already going to join. Chester had offered her a place in the band in her recent tweet so maybe the next album was always going to include her on it possibly. LP's motto is not to look back on songs recorded but there must be a wealth of unheard Chester recordings that they could, with Chester's families backing either release through underground CD's or as whole future albums. They could also incorporate Kiiara on top of it or mix it up so albums with some Chester, Mike and Kiiara and all together would ease her in and get fans used to the new dynamic. This is potentially exciting considering the sadness of Chester's passing. Also Chester could live on, especially that 'scream' through Mr. Hahn. This is all speculation and they might just go for album 8 and start over. I read a lot of comments about competing with range and screaming but a new singer like Kiiara would not have to compete. She is more than capable of singing old Linkin Park material and Linking Park is not about screams anymore. They stressed they are older and the screams were their youthful sound. They could set out to complete the 'One more light' tour or abandon it for a break or trip back into the studio. Whatever road they go, Chester's memory will never die and I think the band are still destined for huge things.
