Kenya’s president Uhuru Kenyatta will have his rockstar cousin Tom Morello popularly known as Rage, tour with award winning rock band Linkin Park.
Speaking with an American online magazine Loud Wire, Linkin Park’s lead singer, Chester Bennington confirmed the news saying:
‘We got to the point where we were kind of like, needing some inspiration and we wanted to work with someone else so we did a jam session with Tom Morello for a day, got some great music out of that. We called Daron, he was down to come down and hang out. There was no pressure, it was like, ‘Hey, we want to hire you to come in and write a song with (Linkin Park).’ Chester said, adding, ‘we want to be inspired and curious if you wanted to work on something with us. We don’t know what that means, if that means come in and listen to our music we’ve been working on and collaborate on that or write something completely new together.’ He came in with the song ‘Rebellion.’
Tom who is an American/Kenyan guitarist best known for his tenure with the band Rage Against the Machine will join the American band in UK for their tour ‘The Hunting Party’ in November.
Linkin Park was formed in 1996 by Mike Shinoda, Rob Bourdon and Brad Delson before recruiting Joe Hahn, Dave Farrell, and Mark Wakefield to the band.
