The project wasnāt given a release date, and fans didnāt know if they could expect a release at all.
This weekend, a fan tweeted Morton asking how far the project got, and if said project would ever get released. Fortunately, fans everywhere received a response from the guitarist.
āChester and I made some really cool music together that we were both SUPER stoked about. And you will hear it!ā Morton says.

There is no set release date at this time.
This isnāt Benningtonās only unreleased collaboration. One year before his death, Bennington and guitarist Slash did a small project together.
Speaking with Variety, Slash disclosed that the collaboration took place when he was working on his first solo record.
āWhen I was doing my first solo record, I worked with a lot of different people, some of whom, for whatever reason, didnāt end up on the record,ā he says. āOne was with Chester.
āWe did a song and Linkin Park at the time didnāt allow it to happen, so I did it with Lemmy [Kilmister],ā he continues. āThe guy who engineered my demos sent it to me, and I sent it to Chesterās family. But it was a trip cause the song [called āDoctor Alibiā] really speaks to his state of mind.ā
Though the song was dropped instead with MotƶrheadāsĀ late Lemmy Kilmister, Slash says that thereās a chance Benningtonās version could still be released.
