Linkin Park's 'Carpool Karaoke' Episode May Not Air After All

UPDATE (10/6): Linkin Park has announced they will air their episode of 'Carpool Karaoke' "next week." And if their Facebook announcement is to be taken literally, it looks like it's set for an October 12 air date.

ORIGINAL POST:

The week before Chester Bennington’s untimely death on July 20, Linkin Park filmed an episode of a new spinoff of The Late Late Show with James Corden’s bit called “Carpool Karaoke: The Series.” But when it comes to whether or not the episode will actually air, host James Corden recently told The Associated Press that it’s a decision that’s not the show’s to make. Instead, it’d be up to the late Linkin Park frontman’s family to decide if the episode should air.

While it appears that no decision has been made yet, Bennington’s wife, Talinda Bennington, responded to Corden’s comments by thanking him on social media.

Thank you @CarpoolKaraoke https://t.co/VmXOKh5owJ
