Oh wow, I can’t believe Linkin Park’s team didn’t anticipate this response. I don’t know if Mike ever knew this, but many fans are(were) emotionally attached to Chester. I say “are” because Chester’s death will always feel fresh to many fans. Many fans are victims themselves of sexual abuse. Chester was so open about his struggles. Chester was so different to most people, most people can’t be Chester if they even tried (his otherworldly kindness and heart were unique, Mike can’t relate to this).

Aside from choosing Emily, it’s a shame they decided to make this a linkin park project as opposed to a new band.

Damn, heavy stuff. Hope they can work it out privately. Public feuds never end well.
