LINKIN PARK SINGER COMMITS SUICIDE BY HANGING
Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington has committed suicide ... TMZ has learned.
Law enforcement sources tell us the singer hanged himself at a private residence in Palos Verdes Estates in L.A. County. His body was discovered Thursday just before 9 AM.
Chester was married with 6 children from 2 wives.
The singer struggled with drugs and alcohol for years. He had said in the past he had considered committing suicide because he had been abused as a child by an older male.
Chester was very close with Chris Cornell, who himself committed suicide by hanging in May. Today would have been Cornell's 53rd birthday. Chester wrote an open letter to Chris on the day of Chris' suicide.
The band has had a string of hits over the years, including "Faint," "In the End" and "Crawling." Linkin Park crossed music genres, collaborating with Jay-Z.
The band's album, "Meteora," was one of the biggest alternative albums in music history.
Bennington was 41.
RIP

Linkin Park released their most recent album One More Light in May. The band was scheduled to embark on a major North American tour next week. Bennington was close friends with Chris Cornell, who also died by hanging earlier this year, and performed Leonard Cohen’s “Hallejulah” at the Soundgarden singer’s memorial in late May.
