Nun, wir selbst wären nie darauf gekommen; aber anscheinend kamen kürzlich ein paar Musikfans auf die Vermutung, dass Ex-Of Mice & Men-Sänger Austin Carlile als Frontmann bei Linkin Park einsteigen könnte, nachdem Chester Bennington im Juli vergangenen Jahres auf tragische Weise verstorben ist. Der Grund zur Annahme: Carlile teilte bei Instagram ein altes Video, auf dem er zusammen mit LP ihren Song „Faint“ performte.

Ex-Of Mice & Men-Sänger entkräftigt Gerüchte eines Engagements bei Linkin Park

Die wenig überraschende Reaktion des von Geburt an am Marfan-Syndrom leidenden Sängers, der aktuell an einem neuen Projekt arbeitet, lautet wie folgt:

„Chester ist einer unter Milliarden. Es besteht keine Chance dafür, dass ich oder jemand anders ihn jemals ersetzen könnte. „Faint“ zusammen auf unserer Europa-Tour und den Festivals in den Staaten zu performen, war eine meiner ganz besonderen Erinnerungen in meiner Karriere. Neues Projekt ja. LP nein.“

Den entsprechenden Tweet sowie auch das kurze Feature-Video mit Linkin Park findet ihr weiter unten. Carlile ist aufgrund seiner Krankheit im Dezember 2016 bei Of Mice & Men ausgetreten.

Chester is one in a billion. There's no way myself or anyone else for that matter would ever be able to replace him. Performing "Faint" every night on our European tour together & festivals stateside, was one of the most special memories of my career. New project, yes. LP, no.

Day eight update: down to only two IV's in my arms! (have had over 30 "pokes" this week alone haha) Because of my extensive medical experiences over my life my veins are extremely hard to find, get blood, or even keep a line in, because they rupture so easily or just won't take a poke at all. My most crucial areas for contrast lines, IV's, or even the dreaded blood draws every 4 hours, are all hardened with scar tissue. Many times I have to resort to lines in my feet or neck or ultrasound. Add a connective tissue disorder like Marfans Syndrome to the mix? Nightmare. Always my joke with nurses "let's see if you can get an IV to stay in under 8 sticks"… If you frequent hospitals or have multiple treatments monthly you understand… As of yesterday the pouches of fluid in my forehead, eyebrows, sides of head, and skull have been completely drained and removed! Very excited about that, but unfortunately even with all the swelling gone the pressure & pain in skull and spine remains the same. I still have another day of intrevenuous antibiotic treatment, and two more days of similar steroid treatments as well. Will know next steps when those are completed. My specialists also put me on a medication a few days ago that slows the production of whatever enzymes that creates cerebrospinal fluid production in my body, which has proven beneficial to not only the swelling in skull but the pain as well. Tomorrow I will start back with more testing and begin to remove other variables and possibilities of what could be the root of the problem, leak, draining, etc. For many that battle with chronic illness this is just another walk in the park, another hill to climb. It is frustrating at times but I am at peace. Words cannot express, you will never truly understand how much it means to me that all of you have stood by my side even when these same health issues took me from Mice. This small bout came out of nowhere and I will leave it behind just as quickly. God has been working immensely in my life and I have been working on new things that I've poured my entire heart into and cannot wait to share them with you. One step at a time. Grateful. 👊🏼🕊
