Being a recovering addict myself is hard. I to have been through abuse and turned to drugs to help me cope. I feel for Chester. This over whelming feeling of fighting a losing battle everyday. Sometimes you don’t know how you even survive everyday. You try to let go of everything that haunts you from day to day. You sit back and your just waiting for the end to come but it doesn’t happen fast enough. You find yourself writing it all down on paper or try to be an example but all its is is a reminder of what your holding on to. We have what it takes to move on but we don’t know how. So we suffer with our everyday thoughts. Insecurities in our head trying not to make more of it than what it is. Life sucks when so bad has happened to you and you can’t let go, you can’t move from it, you just carry it and listen to it. I’m so sorry Chester for your suffering. I’m so sorry you couldn’t get through it. I pray for you, your family, and your band mates everyday. I’m sorry your demons got the best of you. I pray our lord has you in his arms. Peace and love to you all.

Hey Adriana :slight_smile:

Thank you for the beautful sentiments. That was sweet of you :slight_smile:

It was an awesome night at the gig and such a great expeience. And no worries about the hug request. It was only fitting. I remember you being quite nervous to ask. So I thought it would only be fair if I ask on your behalf.

When I heard about the news. I literally died. I could feel the “walls closing in” and I was out of it. I thought 2 weeks, 2 weeks I saw him. My brain could not comprehend :frowning:

It would be good to have a midlands meet. That would be awesome. Like you i cannot make the London one as I am working and taken all my leave this year :frowning: :frowning:

It has been a couple days, I’m still feeling completely lost.

I was so lucky I got to all three UK gigs. I got to do a tribute on BBC 5live this morning. I took this photo at the Birmingham gig.

Struggling to actually cope with that I was at the last gig. Which I hope I will look bad with fond memories. But right now it’s two weeks since I was singing along on such a high. And I just feel so empty.

I thought we’d all get to see you till you were old and grey…

Thank you Chester for the showmanship, the fun, the voice and the songs which spoke to and for us all.

Rest in the peace you needed xxx

I’m broken. I saw Linkin Park one mounths ago. A dream come true, and now…
I’m so so sad, I can’t believe it. I can’t.

I feel empty too :frowning:

I couldn’t believe the news when it came though. Heartbroken and devastated. So talented and a humbled man. The way he sang songs took everything to another level. Songs that means something to all. I’m continually playing their songs - some I sing along too, others I cry too.

I am happy I went to see them in Birmingham, uk, a few weeks ago. Everlasting memory.

I’m hoping he is at peace. For us left behind, one step at a time and with us all celebrating his life his legend will live on.
Love you forever Chester. :sob: :broken_heart: :cupid:

My hearts for his family, close friends and bandmates. I’ve been watching interviews of Chester & Linkin Park on Youtube (helping me cope with the news) just seeing Chester so happy & full of life, and to see him going through what he went through just makes me even more sadder. No one deserves that, To see someone you idolize and care about who made us feel so special was going through that much pain alone in that dark place. I know his kids are old enough to understand, yeah they won’t have their dad around, but they’ll know how much he loved them. Talinda & the kids have a guardian angel.

I lost my friend due to the suicide 3 years ago and Chris Cornell’s death & Chester’s death just broke me and reminded me that life is too short and we have to live it the best way possible. I am hear if anyone wants to talk. Remember you’re alone, there are people who wants to help you. :heart::black_heart:

I know there is a greater plan for you up there in heaven but man it sure sucks for us down here. Fly high Chester. RIP😢

My heart broke In Pieces, my soul feels like a Castle Of Glass. My body feels Numb yet I feel my nerves Crawling and screaming From The Inside wanting all of this to dissapear! Chester Bennington will always have Somewhere He Belongs and that’s our hearts. His voice were always there throught the toughest times when no one else wanted to. He filled my ears, body and soul with music since 1999. His voice had saving me from the dark times, Giving me hope and teaching me to be stronger. I knew nothing more than Linkin Park! Many “Fans” stopped listening to their music because it wasn’t like it used to be but I loved it as always… Chester’s voice will now be Burning In The Skies, In our hearts and in our souls…Rest In Peace Chester and Leave Out All The Rest…
You will be missed… and In The End everything mattered…

Ever since their debut, LP has helped me get through my life.
LP’s lyrics and music delivered through Chester’s voice expressed what I could not express on my own.
Listening to LP helped me release the darkness swirling inside me without hurting myself or others around me.
LP has been my comrade. LP has been my soul mate.
But, now as I listen to LP, Chester’s voice reminds me that I have lost another comrade who had fought continuously against his own self. Now that Chester has lost, it seems that all LP songs ends up in losing against your own self.
But, this is the last thing Chester would have wanted us to believe.
Chester, I know that you’ve suffered enough. I know that you fought against yourself til the very end. I truly hope you that you rest in peace. Please don’t forget how larger than life you had been in my life, and I truly thank you for all that you’ve done for us, the LP fans!

Chester, you were an amazingly gifted man. I listened to Linkin Park since 2002 when I was at school, but I wasn’t able to see your show live until I moved to the U.S. I went to your show as part of the Carnivores tour in 2014, and I had a ticket for the show this August. To say that I was amazed would be underestimating. I knew that LP performing live is just mind-blowing, but it was a completely different level of it when I saw the passion, respect, devotion, and love. My respect for each bandmate just increased hundred times.

Chester, you will be missed so much as the words can’t even describe. Besides being an incredible artist, your kind heart and compassion towards others were always genuine, and they drove people to loving and admiring you.

Thank you for everything you’ve done, Chester. Thank you for being a part of my life in its own way.

I send my love to all of Chester’s family and friends, bandmates and all of the members of the LP family.

So, it’s been four days and it still feels really unreal. I’ve grieved a lot. I cried the first two days and a little bit the third day, but the third day, I decided it was time to rip off the bandaid on my heart and go through my entire Linkin Park collection. It was difficult and beautiful and inspiring and heartwrenching and everything I needed to grieve for Chester. That was yesterday, but today, even after all of that, I don’t know if I can ever actually trick my mind into realizing that Chester is no longer with us. Like, I don’t believe it. It’s not that I don’t WANT to believe it (which I don’t, I wish it was just a very cruel joke), but it’s that I literally CAN’T believe it. It doesn’t seem real…maybe this is just what it means to have a legacy? I just love him and his voice and the music they’ve created.

I find it strange how sad I am about this still and every time I come across the news or something related to Chester I am overwhelmed with some sort of sadness. I couldn’t imagine what close loved ones are feeling. My heart goes out to everyone who is mourning his death especially his family as well as band mates, friends, and fans. He always said he put up a fight against depression to do what he loves most and that’s how I want to a pay tribute to a person I didn’t know yet could relate to through his nightmarish childhood. I’m glad he gave us a place we felt we belonged and not alone because he gave me hope to keep on living up until adulthood. The first time I saw Crawling at 8 yrs old and now I’m 26 so clearly his life wasn’t wasted he made an impact in peoples lives whether he realised it or not. He was an important role model in my life. RIP.

I’m really tired of people trying to be “clever” and they keep saying “In the end, it didn’t even matter” or something stupid, but really it should say “In the end, it really DID matter.” HE mattered. To a lot of people. And, in the end, he saved a lot of people inspired even more than that.
