A devastating day for Chester’s family, friends, and fans, as it was discovered the Linkin Park singer took his own life this morning.
TMZ reported that Chester’s body was found at his residence in Palos Verdes Estates in LA County this morning. The singer had hung himself and his body was discovered just before 9AM.
At the time of his death, Chester was 41 years old and married with 6 children from 2 different wives.
Chester notoriously struggled with drugs and alcohol for years, and had previously admitted that he had considered committing suicide in the past because he had suffered abuse as a child at the hands of an older male.
As Linkin Park’s lead singer, Chester helped the band reach huge commercial success with their 200 debut album, Hybrid Theory. The band has had a string of hits over the years, including “Faint”, “In the End” and “Crawling”. They collaborated with Jay-Z for the EP “Collision Course”, which produced the hit mashup, “Numb/Encore”. The band's most recent album, “One More Light”, topped the Billboard 200 earlier this year.
Chester was very close with fellow rock star Chris Cornell, who also committed suicide by hanging in May of this year, and Chester even wrote an open letter to Chris on the day of Chris' suicide. Today would have been Chris’s 53rd birthday, which undoubtedly would have been a difficult time for Chester.
The news of Chester’s suicide sadly comes the same day that Linkin Park released it’s new music video for their latest single, “Talking to Myself”. Fans have flooded the comments of the video with their condolences and hopes that Chester will rest in peace.
Such a tragic end for such a remarkably talented and beloved musician. All of our thoughts and prayers are going out to Chester’s family, friends, and fans, during this extremely difficult time.
