RIP Chester Bennington

[False Writer]

Chester Bennington, the lead singer of Linkin Park, committed suicide by hanging.

Linkin Park were one of the biggest rock bands when I was growing up. I loved their first 3 albums. It's weird that this happened just a few weeks after Chris Cornell committed suicide the exact same way.

RIP.

Jesus, not a fan of Linkin Park but that's awful.

RIP :(

Also not a fan of Linkin Park, but I remember their thing with Jay-Z was huge when I was in like middle school(?).

I was never a big fan of Linkin Park, but this is sad. What leads someone who lives a privileged life that millions of people can only dream of to kill themselves is beyond me. Such a waste!

[Chypmunk]

And on Chris Cornell's birthday - coincidence or not?

I don't mind some LP material, always a shame to lose someone way too young regardless.

R.I.P.

I found this beautiful rendition of Hunger Strike performed by Chester and Chris Cornell. They were REALLY close friends. Chester chose Chris's birthday to kill himself.

I feel you, dude. I felt the same way when Michael Jackson died. My whole childhood gone in a heartbeat.
Papercut is my favorite Linkin Park song. Chester had an impressive vocal range.

Linkin Park was my sh*t day in and day out good day or bad day... it's hard

[Dani8]

I dont know their music but suicide is always tragic. Vale.

[Pussy Galore]

Same than Derek here, it's my favorite band since I'm 13 years old it's not a very pleasant thing to hear.

[Derek Vinyard]

it still hurt... I listen to LP all day.

[Doolallyfrank]

Yesterday was a sad day indeed, might have to watch LP:live in Texas later tonight

Papercut is my fav too. Hybrid theory was the first rock cd I had. When I was 12 that never left my cd Walkman in my baggy bolt jean pocket

[Derek Vinyard]

Hybrid Theory and Meteora was and still two of my favorite album ever. I listen to Linkin Park my entire childhood since I'm like 7-8 years old... This music help through so many things that's why I love music at first it help me everytime I am
In a bad mood or something. I will truly miss his unique voice and I will always like Chester and Linkin Park

[Derek Vinyard]

1 week and I'm still sad about it

[Derek Vinyard]

1st year anniversary of his death today.

RIP

Still one of my favorite artist ever

[Derek Vinyard]

3 years today....

Still my favorite band ever. Forever grateful, save my life so many times when I was on my lowest

❤️❤️❤️

❤️❤️❤️Yeah, I relate to this for real. They were there when I needed them in middle school, high school, and college. All the tough times when I was still figuring myself out and felt like it was me against the world they were there to quiet my soul.

It's so damn eerie listening to their catalog, though, because so many lyrics hit differently now. Like there are a few songs where it's like "damn, he was dealing with suicidal ideation for a long, long time" and then it makes you all the more thankful that he was able to fight off his demons for that long.

But in the end, some demons are too much for one person. I really wish he had reached out. :(
