Save some for the party, baby! Emily from Linkin Park urges leaving some at the back
Emily Armstrong recently made headlines by shaving a fan’s head on stage during a Linkin Park performance at Czech festival Rock For People. The fan, who had not had time to get a haircut before the festival, held up a sign asking for Emily to cut his hair during the band’s headline set. Emily not only noticed the sign but also agreed to give the fan a haircut on stage, transforming his long locks into a shiny new mullet.
In a video captured by Metal Hammer, Emily can be seen inviting the fan on stage and jokingly saying, “We gotta leave some at the back for the party, baby!” The crowd’s enthusiastic response showed that the impromptu haircut was a hit with Linkin Park fans. While Emily may not have a future career as a barber, the fan now has a unique memory from the festival that he will likely cherish for a long time.
Linkin Park is currently on the European leg of their From Zero world tour, scheduled to perform at Wembley Stadium on June 28. The band has garnered a loyal fan base over the years and continues to attract fans from various musical backgrounds. The tour features support from up-and-coming Canadian metalcore band Spiritbox and genre-blending rapper Jpegmafia.
The interaction between Emily Armstrong and the fan highlights the special connection that can form between artists and their audience during live performances. Fans often look for ways to engage with their favorite bands and create memorable experiences at concerts and festivals. In this case, the fan’s bold request led to a unique and unexpected moment that added an extra layer of excitement to the performance.
It is not uncommon for musicians to interact with fans during shows, whether through crowd participation, special requests, or spontaneous acts like haircuts on stage. These moments can create a sense of intimacy and shared camaraderie between performers and their audience, making the concert experience more personal and unforgettable. Emily’s willingness to go along with the fan’s request further demonstrates the band’s dedication to their fans and their commitment to making each performance special in its own way.
As Linkin Park continues to tour and connect with fans around the world, it is moments like these that remind us of the power of music to bring people together and create lasting memories. Whether it’s a spontaneous haircut on stage or a high-energy performance, concerts have the ability to unite fans in a shared passion for music and create moments that will be remembered long after the final notes have faded.
