To the amazing Linkin Park family, our devoted fans, and the entire entertainment community, As I sit down to write this letter, I am overcome with love and thanks for each of you. Your constant support has had a huge impact on my musical career, and words cannot explain how grateful I am.
To the members of Linkin Park—Mike, Brad, Rob, Dave, Joe, and Chester, who will always have a special place in our hearts—you have not only established the gold standard for artistry but also authenticity and kindness. Your music has been a beacon of hope and inspiration not only for myself, but for many others around the world. Collaborating with you, sharing stages, and witnessing your genius personally has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career.
To the fans, you are the driving force behind this great trip. Your enthusiasm, devotion, and drive have resulted in a community that transcends boundaries and differences. Because of you, music has evolved into more than simply sound; it has become a lifeline, a shared experience, and a means of healing. Your unshakeable conviction in the power of art inspires us to continue producing and performing.
To the larger entertainment community, thank you for receiving me with open arms and providing an environment that values creativity and originality. The possibilities, partnerships, and connections I’ve had the luxury of experiencing have developed me as an artist and a person.
Reflecting on the journey thus far, I am reminded of how profoundly important it is to be a part of something larger than oneself. Linkin Park has always been more than just a band; it’s a movement—a safe haven where we can confront our anxieties, celebrate our achievements, and find comfort in our shared humanity.
As I continue to develop as an artist, I carry with me the teachings, love, and experiences I’ve learnt from being a part of this incredible community. I commit to honour the legacy we’ve created by remaining loyal to my art and using my platform to inspire and empower others. Thank you for believing in me, supporting my music, and letting me be a part of this amazing narrative.
With unending love and gratitude. Emily Armstrong
