    Unfucking believable. Chester was besties with Chris Cornell. The man must have been so depressed about Chris' passing that he commits suicide on Chris' birthday. Just so sad. I love Linkin Park. RIP Chester.

    I have absolutely zero connection with this guy or the music he made, but It's still upsetting as hell. The media will have a great go at this one tying it to Cornell's birthday.  Rest in Peace

    I was never really into his music, but damn...... 41 is way too young.

    Rip Chester - my condolences to his family, friends & fans.

    Making the connection won't be difficult. Chester loved Chris, they were tight. Read Chester's tweet in memory of Chris. This devastated an already weak man who thought of suicide.

    So very sad.  RIP
  • I really enjoy Linkin Park's music, especially their earlier releases. Saw them in Tampa a few years ago and it was a great show. They're supposed to play here in CT next month and I was looking into going.  Unbelievable, RIP.

    It's an alternate reality.  Im almost convinced.  Getting more and more bizarre. What a talented guy.  By all accounts a great guy too.  So many memories associated with his early music.  He wrote the greatest anti-Bush album of the era in Minutes to Midnight.  And Meteora is a flawless album.  Unbelievable
