The rock music scene has been buzzing with significant announcements recently. Oasis confirmed their much-anticipated reunion, while both Linkin Park and Deryck Whibley of Sum 41 hinted at upcoming news scheduled for Wednesday morning, August 28. This timing led fans to speculate about a collaboration between Whibley and Linkin Park, or even a tour with Oasis. However, Whibley took to social media to clarify the situation and reveal his own news.
He humorously emphasized that he is not joining any other bands, noting the influx of messages he received about potentially joining Oasis. Whibley announced that he will be publishing a memoir titled Walking Disaster, which is set to release on October 8. He plans to sign book sleeves for fans during his farewell tour.
In discussing the memoir, Whibley shared, “Some things are good, some things are bad, some things are so personal I can’t believe I even spoke about them, but I figured if you’re writing a book you gotta be honest.”
Sum 41 is gearing up to resume their farewell tour on September 4, culminating in their final show on January 30, 2025, in Toronto. Meanwhile, speculation around Linkin Park’s future continues after Orgy’s Jay Gordon suggested the band might be returning with a new female vocalist. Previous rumors hinted at Evanescence’s Amy Lee stepping into the role of late singer Chester Bennington, which she later denied. Linkin Park is expected to make their announcement at 11:15 AM PST.
