The music world was dealt a major blow in July last year when Bennington committed suicide at his home. He was 41 years old.

Shinoda released a solo Post Traumatic EP in January and is soon to release a solo album of the same name, where he opens up about his feelings following the death of Bennington.

While it is uncertain at this stage whether Linkin Park will continue to make music, Shinoda is hoping his new material can be of benefit to fans of the band.

When speaking about his experienced since the death of Bennington, he said: “The experience of this last year has been crazy, and I wanted to put it into music, not only to just put, like, a stamp on it and say this happened, but also to allow the fans and the people who have been along for the ride, to guide them on that journey.”

Linkin Park has effectively been on hiatus following the death of lead singer Chester Bennington in July last year, though Shinoda did indicate earlier this year that the group has every intention to continue going forward.

Last week Shinoda invited fans of Linkin Park to meet him at Hollywood’s iconic Tower Records building with the promise of appearing in the upcoming video for a song from his solo album.

“Who wants to meet up and be in a music video?” he wrote on Instagram. “I’m shooting something for my solo album at 8:30 in Hollywood tonight. In 45 minutes. Roll thru.”

The news comes after Shinoda released the “post-traumatic” EP in January which were released in honor of Bennington.

In the songs, Shinoda describes the experiences and feelings that he felt following the death of his long-time friend and band-mate Bennington.
