Chester Bennington, Lead Singer of Linkin Park Confirmed Suicide.

Hello to all of my Steemians out there! I hope everyone is doing well, and is staying in good spirits! Sad and unfortunate news this week, the lead singer of one of my favorite bands of all time Linkin Park has passed away! Chester Bennington, the ferocious lead singer for the platinum-selling hard rock band Linkin Park, was found dead in his home near Los Angeles on Thursday. He was 41. Brian Elias, the chief of operations for the Los Angeles County coroner’s office, confirmed the death, in Palos Verdes Estates, and said it was being investigated as a possible suicide after law enforcement authorities responded to a call shortly after 9 a.m. Mr. Bennington, who was known for his piercing scream and free-flowing anguish, released seven albums with Linkin Park. The most recent, “One More Light,” arrived in May and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard album chart. The band was scheduled to start a tour with a concert on July 27 in Mansfield, Mass.Mike Shinoda, one of Linkin Park’s founders, spoke on behalf of the group in a tweet. “Shocked and heartbroken,” he wrote, adding that the band would issue a statement. This is becoming something that is happening more frequently in the celebrity world. Sometimes I wonder if its just a cover and that these celebrities who all seem to be committing suicide are actually just going in to some type of witness protection to get out of the spotlight so they can live the rest of their lives in some kind of normal world. I mean Chester has 6 kids, a beautiful wife, hes rich, etc......and I do understand that he had some dark demons inside, and was fighting some demons, but like most people its just hard to believe. Where ever he is, I hope hes at peace, and I will always love the music he put out himself and with Linkin Park.
