Linkin Park's Emily Armstrong halts festival performance to shave fans' hair
Linkin Park's new lead singer, Emily Armstrong, fulfilled a fan's wish by shaving their hair live on stage during a performance at Rock for People in Czechia
Linkin Park's new lead singer, Emily Armstrong, delighted one concert-goer by shaving their hair live on stage during one of the band's performances. The New Divide stars were in Czechia for their headline set at Rock for People this week when one fan begged them to shave their hair.
In the crowd, the fan held up a sign which read: "Emily, cut my hair!" and halfway through the show, Emily brought him up on stage and produced clippers out of nowhere to fulfil the fan's wish. Emily, ever the barber, gave him an incredible half-mullet, half-buzzcut and told him: "We gotta leave some at the back for the party, baby!"
The fan, who originally had long locks, seemed delighted by the results as he turned around to thank the singer. After cutting his hair, Emily held up the sign that the fan brought with him.

Last year, when Linkin Park announced Emily as the new singer, the band received a lot of backlash from fans who claimed they were erasing Chester Bennington's memory.
The Papercut rockers announced their return last summer following a seven-year hiatus after Chester took his own life in 2017, but the musician insisted that the band would not be "rewritten" following heavy criticism of the move to put Emily front and centre.
Mike Shinoda said to BBC Radio 1's New Music Show: "This is intended to be a new chapter of Linkin Park. The old chapter was a great chapter, and we loved that chapter.
"It ran its course and now we were faced with a challenge of: 'Well, OK, if you start from scratch with another voice, what do you do?'"
Mike explained that he had been writing music with Dead Sara singer Emily since 2019 and that they never planned to "start the band up again".
At the end of this month, Linkin Park will be performing at Wembley Stadium. The group will be supported by two incredible acts, first of which is Spiritbox.
The Courtney LaPlante-fronted metalcore outfit will be hitting Wembley Stadium for the first time in their career for this night of entertainment.
Secondly, JPEGMAFIA will be supporting Linkin Park. The American rapper is a New York local who will no doubt fit right into Linkin Park's repertoire.
After London, the band are heading to Germany, Belgium, Poland and France before heading back to the US for dates in New York, Illinois, Tennessee and more.

Showing him around the villa, Toni said to Harrison: "The showers." "Shower one at a time?" he exclaimed. Toni laughed and said: "Yes." "That's a shame," Harrison replied before following Toni out of the bathroom. They then got ready for bed before getting into a single bed together and cuddling up.

Rachel Zelger's remake of popular musical branded ‘woke' after fans spot ridiculous warning signs at London theatre
Trigger warnings for shows have been criticised by acting great Sir Ian McKellen EVITA OUTRAGE Rachel Zelger's remake of popular musical branded 'woke' after fans spot ridiculous warning signs at London theatre Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MAJOR new production of Evita has been slapped with a woke trigger warning for 'loud music and sudden noises'. Audiences are also told they could be upset by strobe lighting, flashing lights and haze. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Rachel Zegler belts out Don't Cry For Me Argentina from the Palladium balcony to crowds watching for free Credit: The Mega Agency 5 Large crowds are gathering in the street every night to watch the star perform for free Credit: The Mega Agency 5 Zegler's free performance has been praised by punters Credit: Getty The West End musical sees American star Rachel Zegler — as Eva Peron — sing its main ballad Don't Cry For Me Argentina from a balcony to passers-by outside the venue for free. Those who have paid up to £245 for tickets watch it on a screen inside the London Palladium. Crowds are gathering in the street every night to watch Zegler, 24, perform. Fans have been recording clips of her and posting them on social media, where they have amassed millions of views. Trigger warnings for shows have been criticised by acting great Sir Ian McKellen, 86. He said previously: 'I think it's ludicrous. I quite like to be surprised by loud noises and outrageous behaviour on stage.' Despite the warning and Zegler's free performance, the 130-minute show has been praised by paying punters. Evita began a 12-week run on Saturday and tells how Peron rose from poverty to become one of the most powerful women in Latin America as First Lady of Argentina from 1946 until her death at 33 in 1952. Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice wrote the musical and chart-topper Don't Cry for Me Argentina in 1978, with Madonna playing Peron in a film version 29 years ago. The decision to have Zegler sing outside came from director Jamie Lloyd. Romeo + Juliet fans rage over 'frustrating' ticket sale issues for Broadway show starring Kit Connor and Rachel Zegler His version of Sunset Boulevard, for which Nicole Scherzinger recently won a Tony Award, also featured an outdoor section. Silly trigger warnings have hit several recent theatre shows. A production of Oliver! advises viewers it will include themes of poverty, hunger and crime. Phantom of the Opera audiences were told it would include smoke and bangs. A warning about nudity was put on a production of The Full Monty — a show about male strippers — while Matilda the Musical alerts the audience about the inclusion of a 'loud burp'. Zegler's stage role comes three months after her live-action remake of Snow White hit cinemas. The film had a £200million budget and made £148million at the box office as it was criticised for 'going woke.' Actors were replaced with CGI dwarves. And the plot was changed to be about the princess becoming a fearless leader, rather than ultimately finding love. Zegler said the Disney original was 'extremely dated when it comes to the ideas of women being in roles of power'. She added: 'People are making these jokes about ours being the PC Snow White, where it's, like, yeah, it is — because it needed that.' 5 The star performing her turn on the balcony Credit: The Mega Agency 5 The show's inspiration Eva Peron Credit: Getty Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club.
