Forums - Music Discussion - Linkin Park Singer Chester Bennington Found Dead From Apparent Suicide

very sad news, I'm not a huge follower of his/LPs work, but I did highly enjoy several of their earlier songs

Given the fact that people hear seem to like them for some reason I'll keep this civil, but never liked them for their manufactured sound and clearly marketing based created music rather than any real soul in it...

way to sound pretentious as fuck

you felt nothing from them and that's ok, millions felt a lot from them and that's ok too

WTF, end of an era.

Suicide is not the answer. especially if it leads to more suicide.



Very unfortunate. Suicide is never nice to see



Oh dear that kinda shocked me 😢



What a fucking asshole. Left his kids fatherless.

How insensitive of you. My dad killed himself as well, and let me tell you, that's not the best course of action at all to deal with this.



Poor guy. Wonder what he was dealing with?



I'm actually devastated by this. My first concert was a Linkin Park concert and was where I met my now wife and mother of my child. Random chance but if it wasn't for his music my life would have been very different.

If anyone knows about his history then they also know he'd battled with suicide from an early age and had a pretty screwed up childhood. A lot of Linkin Park's songs are written about those time in his life but in an ambiguous enough way that people can still relate. "Shadow of the Day" takes on a whole new meaning with this in mind.

Killed himself on Chris Cornell's birthday too...



Well good for him.
