Linkin Park - Short Biography

Linkin Park is a multi-platinum, Grammy-winning American nu-metal band formed in 1996. The band was originally formed by high school friends Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, and Rob Bourdon and later joined by Joe Hahn, Dave 'Phoenix' Farrell, and Mark Wakefield. After struggling to secure a record deal and a change in vocalist (Chester Bennington), the band finally signed with Warner Bros. in 1999. Their debut album, Hybrid Theory, was released in 2000 and became one of the highest-selling albums of 2001, with over 4.8 million copies sold in its first year and nominations for three Grammy Awards, including a win for Best Hard Rock Performance. Over the years, Linkin Park has released numerous albums and toured extensively, performing at high-profile events and collaborating with artists such as Jay-Z, Depeche Mode, and Metallica.
The band went on hiatus after the death of lead singer Chester Bennington in 2017.
