Evanescence’s Amy Lee Shuts Down Rumors That She’s Linkin Park’s New Singer

Ever
since

Orgy
frontman
and
dude
that
knows
nothing

Jay
Gordon
let
slip
that
he’d
heard
Linkin
Park
was

reforming
with
a
female
vocalist
in
place
of
the
late

Chester
Bennington
(and
eventually

walked
that
statement
back),
people
on
the
internet
have
been
trying
to
suss
out
who
this
person
might
be.
And
while
internet
Sherlocks
believe
they’ve
found
the
woman
they
think
will
take
that
spot
in

Evanescence‘s

Amy
Lee,
she’s
now
come
out
saying
she’s
not
involved
at
all.

During
an
interview
with
Canada’s

iHeart
Radio,
Lee
said
that
even
though
she
was
thankful
that
people
held
her
in
enough
high
regard
to
be
considered
for
the
spot
by
fans,
that
just
wasn’t
the
case.

“That
is
an
incredible
compliment.
I
have
not
heard
that.
No,
I
have
not
been
contacted
or
anything
like
that.
But
[I’m
a]
huge
fan
feel
like
our
worlds,
our
fanbases
are
a
lot
of
the
same
people.”

Lee
said
that
while
she’d
spoken
with
Bennington
once
in
a
studio,
that
was
basically
the
extent
of
her
interaction
with
Linkin
Park.
And
while
she’s
not
involved
at
the
moment,
she

did
say
she’d
consider
occasionally
standing
in
if
they
ever
needed
her.

“That’s
really
sweet.
We
never…
Well,
did
we
play
shows
[together]?
I
don’t
know
if
[both
Evanescence
and
Linkin
Park]
were
on
a
festival
together
or
whatever.
We
met.
We
were
in
the
studio
at
the
same
time.
When
we
were
making
‘Fallen’,
I
just
briefly
got
to
have
a
conversation
or
two
with
Chester.
He
was
really
sweet.

“But
no,
it’s
not
true.
But
that’s
awesome.
They
should
ask
me
about
that.
I
don’t
have
a
ton
of
free
time,
but
I
might
do
it
part
time.”

So
there
you
have
it.
No
Amy
Lee
in
Linkin
Park.
You’ll
just
have
to
wake
up
and
save
yourself
from
that
pipe
dream.
