While recording the album, the band also collaborated with many artists on non-Linkin Park music: " Like Riding A Bike", a Hot Karl song produced and featuring Mike was premiered in May a few days after Mike teased the song on his Snapchat account a collaborative song recorded with The Lonely Island called " Things In My Jeep" was released on June 3 Mike did additional production in the One Ok Rock song " One Way Ticket" in August and Brad Delson collaborated with his brother Greg in a song called " Willing To Try". That same month, the band would play their last shows of 2015 before returning once again to the studio. After that, the band went back to their studio to work on new material and recorded a collaborative track, " Waiting For Tomorrow", with Martin Garrix in early November. In early October, Linkin Park did a mentoring session with Zayed Hassan, the grand prize winner of the Stagelight Monthly Music Contest, at Red Bull Studios in Los Angeles, resulting in the song " Sailing Through The Clouds".
Chester, however, would do a one-off reunion show with the band in March 2016. Justin Parker is one of them, and I’d seen his name on some credits including stuff by Lana Del Rey, and I also sat with Eg White who’d written with Florence + the Machine and Adele." Meanwhile, Chester went back to Stone Temple Pilots for what proved to be the band's last tour with him, as Chester left his position on the band in November. I decided to stop in London, because I had been interested in potentially writing with some people outside of the band. Mike said, "We got off tour around a year and a half ago, and I’d already been writing a bunch of demos and playing things for the guys. After the tour, Mike had sessions in London with an undisclosed artist. Between the Linkin Park shows in Europe, Mike also performed a few Fort Minor shows. The band went back to Europe in August for the final leg of the tour. Right before the first show of the tour, the band held a press conference in Shanghai, where Mike played a piece of new music he had been working on during their flight. The Hunting Party Tour was resumed in July in China. Mike released a new single, " Welcome", and performed a couple of one man shows as Fort Minor. By the end of March, Chester was fully recovered and went on a tour with Stone Temple Pilots, coming back to Linkin Park in May to play a few festivals around North America.įort Minor, Mike Shinoda's side project, officially made its comeback in June, after an almost 10-year hiatus. Linkin Park also released an acoustic version of " Final Masquerade" through their website to thank the fans for their support. During Chester's recovery, the band met at the studio to go through a few new demos they had already written, like "Spirals", "All Our Days", "Hands Itch", and " Last Straw" and Chester worked with Stone Temple Pilots on new music. Their show in Berlin on November 9 was recorded for a live DVD which remains unreleased.ĭue to Chester Bennington breaking his ankle in January 2015, the band was forced to cancel the rest of the United States leg of The Hunting Tour after only three shows. This was followed by the Carnivores Tour in August and September, the Circuito Banco do Brasil shows in October, and the European leg of The Hunting Party Tour in November. Linkin Park started to tour in support of The Hunting Party in May 2014 in Europe.
