Chester Bennington’s son getting death threats from Linkin Park fans after slamming new lead singer Emily Armstrong

Chester Bennington’s son Jaime has revealed he is getting death threats from Linkin Park fans after publicly slamming the band’s new lead singer Emily Armstrong.

The son of Chester – who died via suicide at the age of 41 on July 20, 2017 – said on his Instagram Stories Sunday that he was opposed to Armstrong, 38, taking his late father’s place in the ensemble, more than seven years after his tragic passing.

Jaime, 28, said that he found problematic Armstrong’s ties with Scientology, and past support of actor Danny Masterson, who was convicted of rape and sentenced to at least 30 years in prison. 

Now Jaime has shared shocking messages from internet trolls telling him to ‘kill himself like his dad did’ – and claimed he fears for his life should he attend the new Linkin Park tour.

He also claimed that Chester’s bandmate Mike Shinoda had blocked him on Instagram amid his public rants.

Jaime said of the band: ‘They didn’t ask me how I felt, they didn’t offer me a ticket, there’s reasons why they may not let me go’ – referring to the band’s upcoming September 11th show at LA’s Kia Forum.

‘I do wanna go, I don’t want to pay 500 dollars though… there are a lot of people who don’t like me right now, I don’t know if I’d feel safe going general admission as I don’t know who I’m around

‘I do need to see it… the band should have offered me a ticket.’

He claimed Shinoda ‘has been stalking my page’ and accused Linkin Park of ‘cruel unusual and aggressive’ behavior towards him.’

He also shared a message from a follower who threatened to ‘find him’ at the concert.

Jaime said he believes attending the concert will be ‘cathartic in terns of closure’ as he is still grieving the loss of his father.

He previously said: ‘People aren’t having a difficult time wrapping their heads around the prospect of Linkin Park reinventing itself,’ Jaime said Sunday, according to Page Six.

He added: ‘They’re having a hard time wrapping their head around how you: 1). hired your friend of many years @emilyarmstrong to replace [Chester].’

Jaime said that the musical group ‘has refused to acknowledge the impact of hiring someone like Emily,’ who has since said that she ‘misjudged’ the Masterson situation and believed she had been ‘supporting a friend.’

Jaime said that that Shinoda, 47, mistimed the announcement of Armstrong joining the band in September, which is Suicide Prevention Month.

Jaime said Shinoda and his associates ‘quietly erased [his] father’s life and legacy in real time’ and had ‘betrayed the trust loaned to you by decades of fans and supporting human beings including myself.’

He added, ‘We trusted you to be the bigger better person … because you promised us that was your intention. Now you’re just senile and tone deaf. Insane.’

Armstrong, who once fronted the group Dead Sara, said on Instagram Stories Sunday said that she ‘shouldn’t have’ supported Masterson by attending one of his court hearings.

‘I always try to see the good in people and I misjudged him,’ she said. ‘I have never spoken with him since. 

‘Unimaginable details emerged as he was later found guilty. To say it as clearly as possible: I do not condone abuse or violence against women, and I empathize with the victims of these crimes.’

The band on Thursday revealed they were reforming with Armstrong in the lead vocalist spot, with Colin Brittain replacing Rob Bourdon as drummer, saying the latter ‘decided to step away’ from the group, the AP reported.

Linkin Park achieved huge commercial and critical success beginning in the early 2000s with hits such as One Step Closer, In the End and Crawling, the latter of which earned the band a Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance in 2002.

The band would go on to capture another Grammy in 2006 for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for Numb/Encore, a collaboration with Jay-Z.
