Chester Bennington RIP (1976-2017)

RIP Chester Bennington

   

    It is with sad news that Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington has passed away at 

  age of 41. He had struggled with depression ever since his good friend rocker Chris
  Cornell passed away earlier this year. 

    Bennington's ear shattering screams along with co-singer Mike Shinoda's smooth flow

  gave Linkin Park their unique and distinct sound. Their debut album Hybrid Theory,

  released in 2001, is their best selling album to date selling over 10 million copies 

  worldwide. Their chart topping singles "One Step Closer" & "Crawling" made

  the band a staple on MTV's TRL. 

    When their next album Meteora was released in 2003, the band became even
  more popular spawning such singles as "Somewhere I Belong" , "Faint" & 
  "Numb".

     While Linkin Park took a brief hiatus, Chester filled in as Stone Temple Pilots 

  frontman when their singer, Scott Weiland, died from an overdose a few years ago. 

  Like Weiland, Chester battled with his personal demons throughout his life stemming

  from his drug use at an early age. 

   
   "Don't resent me, when you're feeling empty, keep me in your memory. Leave out 
  all the rest." Chester Bennington. 

   Don't worry Chester, we'll keep you in our memories and just play your songs.
