Shit !!

Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington dead at 41 Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington has died at the age of 41, it's been reported.

TMZ say that the singer was found dead at a private residence in Palos Verdes Estate in Los Angeles at 9am local time. It’s been reported that he hanged himself. The BBC say the news of Bennington's death was confirmed by the LA County Coroner.

Bennington's Linkin Park band mate Mike Shinoda has now spoken via Twitter, saying: “Shocked and heartbroken, but it's true. An official statement will come out as soon as we have one.”

Bennington played in several bands in the 90s but it was Linkin Park’s 2000 debut albumHybrid Theory that catapulted him and his band mates into the limelight, with the record peaking at no.2 on the Billboard 200.

Linkin Park went on to release six more studio albums, their latest being One More Light which arrived in May this year.

Bennington also sang with Stone Temple Pilots and appeared on 2013 EP High Rise. He left the band amicably in 2015 to concentrate on his work with Linkin Park.

Bennington’s death comes on what would have been late Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell’s birthday. Cornell died by suicide in May, with Bennington writing a heartfelt tribute to his friend shortly after the news broke. 

Lets wish strengh and courage to his family and hope things like this never happen again!
