Linkin Park have issued the below statement today, October 03rd, confirming the cancellation of their previously booked Japanese tour that was to take place in November.
“To our wonderful fans in Japan and our brothers in ONE OK ROCK:
We have been looking forward to being with all of you, but unfortunately cannot play our previously scheduled performances in Tokyo. Until now, we have not communicated about our November shows because we sincerely wished to play, even in the wake of Chester‘s passing.
We are working each day to grieve, heal, and work towards stepping on stage together without our dear friend. We are so grateful for your love and support. Our sincere appreciation for your kind understanding.
– LINKIN PARK“
The band will next be on stage at The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, CA for a tribute show to their late frontman Chester Bennington. That show will feature numerous guest performers.
