Linkin Park considering reunion with female vocalist

Linkin Park are considering hitting the road in 2025 with a female vocalist to replace the late Chester Bennington.

Billboard was the first report that the band, who has been on hiatus since the passing of Bennington in 2017, is looking at touring and headlining festival dates next year with an unnamed female vocalist. The last time the band was seen together on stage was in October 2017, when the band played a tribute show for Bennington.

Orgy frontman Jay Gordon made headlines a few weeks ago when he claimed that Linkin Park were going to be back on the road with a female vocalist, but he later walked back those comments. It turns out that Gordon turned out to be true.

Fan speculation immediately pointed the finger at Amy Lee of Evanescence as a possible fill-in, to which she responded, “They should ask me about that. I don’t have a ton of free time, but I might do it part-time.”

White Sox double their win total over the weekend, Cubs struggle in Boston

In a monumental three-game series, the Chicago White Sox did something that they hadn’t done all season. The South Siders hosted the Tampa Bay Rays this weekend and they swept the Rays. This included a nine-run Friday night, a walk-off win on Saturday, and a two-run victory on Sunday. The Sox doubled their win total from 3 wins to 6 wins by the end of the weekend. You simply cannot ask for anything better than this.

The Cubs, who had been surging, ran into some roadblocks on Boston over the weekend. After another killer start from Shota Imanaga on Friday, the North Siders lost 17-0 on Saturday night. With a chance to rebound on Sunday Night Baseball, the Cubs gave up a walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth to drop the series.

The Sox now stand at 6-22, while the Cubs fall to 17-11.

Bears to ask for over $2 billion in public funds for new stadium

Today at noon, the Bears will unveil their plans for a new lakefront stadium, ending their multi-year battle over getting a new stadium.

Per the Tribune’s reporting, sources spoke to the news outlet on conditions of anonymity, telling them the plan is estimated to cost $4.6 billion to execute, with $3.2 billion directed toward building the new stadium itself, and another $1.4 billion dedicated to infrastructure improvements around and outside the stadium.

This, of course, will only add onto the taxes in the city, which is not what anyone wants. If it brings home a Super Bowl, however, then it will be worth it.
