After Chester Bennington left Stone Temple Pilots as vocalist, the Linkin Park singer is now all-hands-on-deck for the group, as they are expected to follow up with a new album in the next few years.

According to an article reported by Empty Lighthouse Magazine, Mike Shinoda revealed the band's intentions of recording a new album for Linkin Park once they're done with promoting the previous one while on tour.

"All of the shows that we've been doing have been really really fun," Shinoda said. "This is our last tour on this cycle and then we'll get back and get focused on the next Linkin Park record. And we're looking a next year sometime."

Meanwhile, while the talks of the new album from Linkin Park are heating up, singer Chester Bennington recently announced that he would step down from his task of being the singer for Stone Temple Pilots.

"The last few years have been an amazing experience," Bennington told Rolling Stone. "I got to create and perform with one of the greatest rock bands of our generation, that had so much influence on me growing up. With the amount of time STP deserves, in addition to being in Linkin Park, and with the needs of my family, one of them always seems to fall short."

"And in all fairness to my bandmates in Linkin Park, as well as to myself and to my family, I'm going to focus solely on Linkin Park so I can contribute 100 percent. It's been an amazing experience and a dream come true, and I look forward to the future of both STP and Linkin Park."
