RIP Chester Bennington of Linkin Park

RIP.
He was friends with Chris Cornell who would've turned 53 today.


I was fortunate enough to see them live back ini the early 2000's. I saw Chris Cornell once with Audioslave and once solo as well. The real musicians are dying and leaving. Appreciate them while you can.


If you don't have anything nice to say, move a long.

I was really looking forward to the Blinkin Park shows they were doing with Blink 182 in New York. I'm totally shocked at this news.

I saw Audioslave 3 times and I saw Soundgarden twice. I never did see Linkin Park live and I was really interested in going to New York for the Blinkin Park shows.

Linkin Park were always a bit cheesy but I like them anyway. Genuinely sad news.

Shit, and some other choice cuss words. I'm angry. I feel so bad for his family, bandmates, friends and fans. Depression is so awful.
