Dear LP fans all over the world,
with massive sorrow we have to report that Chester Bennington has died by suicide this morning. TMZ reported all the details, but to be honest, they don’t matter. What matters is that we lost another beautiful person to the horrible disease of depression. Today would have been Chris Cornell’s birthday. Chester leaves a wife and 6 beautiful children. Please seek help if you feel depressed.
I know that a lot of fan sites are still waiting for an official statement by the band. It’s the right thing to do, but we are always being honest with you: it’s been reported by Ted Stryker and Bobby Hundreds who are close to the band. Every big news outlet shared the news. At this point we just doubt that it suddenly turns out to be fake.
It’s confirmed:
Shocked and heartbroken, but it's true. An official statement will come out as soon as we have one.
