Linkin Park

Linkin Park have always put as much passion into their worldwide charitable causes as they have their musical endeavors, and now singer Chester Bennington will be honored for those efforts by MusiCares.

Linkin Park are one of the top bands when it comes to giving back via charitable efforts, as their Music for Relief organization has helped get communities around the world back on their feet after natural disasters. Giving their fans a more tangible idea of what Music for Relief does, the band's latest video follows Mike Shinoda as he travels to Haiti.

Record Store Day (April 20) is fast approaching and a number of top hard rock bands have begun revealing what they plan to do to mark the occasion.

Linkin Park have been part of the 'Grammy Amplifier' talent search competition since its inception last month, but they're taking the next step in the process by also signing on for the 'Centerstage Powered by Grammy Amplifier' mentoring program.

Who will be the next Ozzy Osbourne or Linkin Park? That remains to be seen but it may actually be Osbourne or Linkin Park that helps them on the way. Both acts have agreed to be curators for the new Grammy Amplifier competition.

Linkin Park continue to show their love to their fans by announcing their eighth Linkin Park Underground Summit, scheduled for Feb. 21 in Auckland, New Zealand. The summits have been designed to break down the barriers between fans and the band, with those in attendance having the chance to take part in a number of Linkin Park-related activities.

Linkin Park and their Music for Relief organization are hard at work once again following Hurricane Sandy's destruction in both Haiti and the U.S. last week. Co-vocalist Mike Shinoda is raising awareness for Music for Relief's efforts, which will provide assistance to those in need in the aftermath of the natural disaster.

Congrats are in order for Linkin Park, whose fans just helped the group become the first rock band to surpass one billion YouTube views.

Just last month, Linkin Park showed off a volcanic Chester Bennington in the lyric video for their new single ‘Burn It Down.’ Now they’re sharing how the effect was created with a behind-the-scenes clip.
