Growing up I would buy Linkin Park CDs they are one of my earliest favourable bands, which is why it made me sad to find out that lead vocalist Chester Benniton has died at age 41. A coroner was at his house at 9 p.m. Thursday, last night. So far his death is being investigated as suicide.

REST IN POWER CHESTER

Sad story.

Some facts about him:

Chester Charles Bennington was March 20, 1976 in Phoenix, Arizona.
His mother was a nurse, while his father was a police detective who worked with child sex abuse cases, and took double shifts.
Bennington took interest in music at a young age, citing bands Depeche Mode and Stone Temple Pilots as his early inspirations
Bennington’s parents divorced when he was 11 years old, and his father gained custody of him.
After the divorce, Bennington started abusing marijuana, alcohol, opium, cocaine, methamphetamine, and LSD.
He eventually overcame his drug addiction, and would go on to denounce drug use in future interviews.
During one Linkin Park tour, he started heavily drinking.
In an interview, Bennington revealed that he suffered sexual abuse from an older male friend when he was seven years old. He was afraid to ask for help because he did not want people to think he was gay or lying, and the abuse continued until the age of 13.
At the age of 17, Bennington moved in with his mother, and was banned from leaving the house when his mother discovered his drug activity.
He worked at a Burger King before starting his career as a professional musician.
