Linkin Park's second studio album is set for a March release. The band have confirmed they are confident they will have the album ready, despite the recent illness of singer Chester Bennington.
In his posting on their website Mike Shinoda has told fans: "Chester got sick during the last week in LA, and we had to bring him to New York, to a studio we've never recorded at. It was a little unsettling, but luckily it all worked out. I wrote some stuff while he was sick, and when he got better, it was all ready to go. He liked what it sounded like, and hooked us up with great performances. A few days later, he was finished, and flew back to LA which leaves Brad (Delson) and I here with Andy Wallace mixing".
