“New singer announcement,” declared one fan.

“Countdown for an LP comeback to the stages,” chimed another.

“December 1st? This is ‘My December,'” chimed a user in reference to the band’s fan favorite track.

“The end of the countdown is the date for the release of the Rock Am Ring/Rock I’m Park lineup. Very suspicious,” added one user.
