We were debating on going to Birmingham following the cancelled Manchester gig but they only had crap tickets left, standing at the back and it was very short notice. Decided to ‘wait till next time’ or hoped that they might do a show at Leeds if enough fans pestered them. I so regret making that decision

the new album was a bit of a shock at first but I grew to love it very quickly, now it breaks my heart listening to it

Made a separate post about my tribute, but i double post it for more to see and to state that i completely empathize with your feelings!
From 17 on, they were my best friends,
but from 2010 on where my life started collapsing, rock by rock, everywhere i’d try to stand, their hand was there, song by song, to keep me afloat and not sink in depression!
The world lost a singer and fags like russelbrand are already out telling us about depression, within the first week that me and you (and so many more in here) feel like we lost a brother or a father who taught us how to survive it!
The irony…
Always hard for me to control my emotion so… this is why i did the following.
I hope you peeps enjoy!
Once more,
Rest in Peace brother!!!

Obviously, cuz they’re such busybodies, damn TMZ.
Her brother is angry, so he prevented a lot of people from attending the funeral (including my parents and me)

I’ve been through lots of social media sites and was watching LP videos all the time a few days ago and one of the most brilliant tributes I saw was trying to get the music video for Numb to go for the 1 billion views by the end of the year! I’m joining in on that!
It has now been a week since I knew about our Chester and I know that he’s in a safe place. I been looking up at the sky whether it’s raining, sunshine or cloud. I deeply miss him and it’s a hole in my heart I will never get back but he along with the band has got me through some rather difficult times when I was younger.

I totally understand and respect their decision to hold a private funeral. It’s a little upsetting when you first hear it because obviously he meant a lot to all of us fans, but really…there’s a LOT of us. That would be so overwhelming for his family and close friends and bandmates. They deserve the right to grieve the man THEY KNEW…not the world the public knew. I do really hope and pray they have some sort of public memorial for the fans because I want to do everything in my power to be there for it. I will travel halfway around the world for it and spend thousands if necessary. He meant sooooo much to me. This would be the last expense I would have the opportunity to spend on my idol. I almost paid thousands to do the Rock Fantasy Camp with Chester in April, but I couldn’t take the time off work. I really regret not doing that now…

Our life is like a sparkling moment. It’s unbelievable😰.
But I hope, that LP will continue their concerts. “Show must go on”

Hi, just re-joined the forums after years away. i wrote this about Chester for my site a few days ago and have shared it around various LP fan sites/accounts, so I wanted to share it here.
Felt good to get this all out there as a means of trying to process it all…but it’s tough. Read if you wish. thanks.

I think Lp are over…how can they continue without the main man ?
Please, don’t get me wrong, but to my mind. Maybe, including his voice in some parts of their concerts. To stop the creation now, seems to be wrong.
They can change the form, but, save the context.
Chester is the soul of LP, the soul is vital.
This came in the mail today…My small way of grieving what has been lost.

If I were at a concert and Chester’s voice came on in the absence of him physically being there, it would put a major damper on the rest of the concert.

Maybe. But if 30,000 were screaming the words with him, it wouldn’t seem as bad. Especially if the song was The Messenger

Exactly out of respect if they want to continue I would prefer them using another name. Let the name Linkin Park remain forever the way it started out of respect for Chester and his legend.

This is surprisingly really good. I’m not much of a fan of him. Maybe I should listen to more of his work.
Chester,
I’ve been listening to you guys since I was four years old, I still remember seeing the music video for In The End on VH1 all those years ago. Over the years I’ve grown along side your music. Life hasn’t been the easiest for me, but when life got rough I could always turn to you and the band for a little comfort. I never got to see you in concert or meet you at a public event, but you and the band will always be my family. I never believed that family is simply bound by blood. I’ll always have my CDs to listen to, but I will miss you dearly. Rest in peace Chester, I’ll meet you further on up the road.
With love, Brendan.
