Another great lead singer gone, dead by suicide! I grew up listening to Linkin Park when they used to be called Hybrid Theory. Sucks he’s gone, RIP!!

Wow.

Was not expecting this.

RIP.

Apparently he was great friends with Chris Cornell, and today would have been Cornell's 53rd birthday.

I just dont understand how these stars with any sort of therapy access you could imagine still commit suicide. All he had to do was talk to someone....he leaves behind SIX children.

 

[Sinister04L]

Wasn't expecting this either. Wow. They were an awesome live band. I was planning on seeing them again next month. RIP.

WHAT THE **** IS GOING ON IN THE MUSIC WORLD?!?!

It's said to see yet another musician from my teen years take his own life. I grew up listening to Linkin Park, specifically Hybrid Theory which was a great album. RIP Chester..

My favorite band. We were going to see them in October. This sucks.

i guess he'd rather be with his buddy Chris than his six kids. smh.

i was a fan when they first came out. kind of lost track of them. sorry to see this happen but i feel more sorry for the kids who's father decided to ditch them.

I would bet musicians have one of the highest suicide rates of any profession, aside from the medical field.

That's one way to look at it.

I see it as he was battling demons so severe that they clouded his judgement, even over his children.

Its a selfish act that's performed with selfless intentions.

I personally have known people who have committed suicide and honestly, I used to think that way, why not get help? But growing up I started to see its an actual sickness to some and therapy isnt enough at times. He said he was molested as a kid by an adult and looks like it finally caught up to him where he felt he had no other choice.

I dont understand that part either, to be honest. The state of mental healthcare in this country is deplorable, though. Could definitely use some stepping up.

But the man had access to ANY kind of therapy he could desire, I dont get it.

 

[R.D.P.]

Sad to hear this. I was definitely a fan of their early stuff.

Hard to say, IMO no one know’s someone else’s intentions until you walked in their shoes.

 

[DSGCOBRA24]

I'm not a fan at all but, still very sad.

exactly, and my father taught me not to talk ill of the dead, as we have NO idea what they were going through. So I tend to give the deceased the benefit of the doubt, instead of just labeling them 'weak' or whatever negative adjective comes to mind, you know? Its still a human being we're talking about.

If it's going to be musicians, why can't it be people like Beiber, Katy Perry, Ariana Grande?

Going out on a limb, I'll say with certainty a refund will be given.

Point a gun at my head and I can't name a song from this band.

You been living under a rock?
