With dueling announcements slated to land around the same time as one another, many all over the internet believed Linkin Park and Sum 41‘s Deryck Whibley were going to make a joint announcement that the latter would be filling in for the late Chester Bennington. We reported on it earlier today and honestly, that speculation is plastered all over rock and metal internet. But it turns out it all might not have mattered in the end after all.
In a post shared on Sum 41’s official Twitter account, Whibley let fans down easily, stating that he had no intention in joining a reuniting band. That means no to Linkin Park and no to Oasis, who are also reuniting around the same time.
