Linkin Park fans got a huge surprise during their ‘From Zero‘ event in Los Angeles on September 5, 2024. After years of silence and speculation following the tragic passing of Chester Bennington in 2017, the band finally revealed their plans for the future, Emily Armstrong, the powerhouse vocalist from Dead Sara, is stepping in as their new frontwoman.
It’s been a long wait, but with this news, the excitement in the air is palpable. Armstrong’s introduction also came with the debut of the band’s new single, The Emptiness Machine, giving fans their first taste of what this new lineup sounds like.
Alongside the album release, the band announced a world tour, covering major cities like New York, London, and Seoul.
Now, of course, whenever someone jumps into such a huge role, the internet starts buzzing about their background—and naturally, their net worth. Let’s try to uncover what we know about Emily’s wealth.
She Was Earning a Decent Living As Dead Sara’s Singer But With Linkin Park In Picture, She’s Gonna Earn More
Emily’s total fortune up until now is estimated at around $200,000, and if you know anything about her career, you’ll realize that’s just scratching the surface of what she’s about to make. Over the years, she’s built a reputation as the powerhouse voice behind Dead Sara, a rock bank based out of LA. Their album Dead Sara (2012), featuring hits like “Weatherman,” really put them on the map, and follow-ups like Pleasure to Meet You and Ain’t It Tragic kept the momentum going.
While Dead Sara’s not raking in millions from record sales alone, they’ve still managed to sell enough albums, snag streaming revenue, and land lucrative licensing deals to keep them comfortable. Plus, the band has a dedicated fanbase that keeps showing up for tours, and those tours? They’re a big money-maker in the rock world.
But the game is changing for Emily with her new role as Linkin Park’s frontwoman. This isn’t just any band she’s stepping into—this is Linkin Park, a group that’s been a massive force in the music industry for around three decades. With their own fortune reportedly sitting at a hefty $250 million, it’s clear that they’re still a giant in the industry. Linkin Park has a long history of selling out stadiums, and their tours pull in massive amounts of revenue. Add to that the earnings from album sales, merch, and streaming, and you start to see just how much Emily stands to gain from joining them.
Her upcoming tour with Linkin Park is already generating a ton of chatter, and their new album From Zero is set to drop later this year. You can bet she’ll be seeing a huge paycheck from all this, as she’s now part of a band that’s still one of the biggest names in the rock world. Emily’s slice of the pie? It’s about to get a whole lot bigger.
