Rest in peace Chester

I still can’t believe what happened yesterday.
I cry whole night, couldn’t sleep… just couldn’t understand what’s going on.
Now it’s so hard to listen to their songs – everytime I hear his voice it hurts.
But… we need to show and share our love to Chester and whole LP family! We need to stay strong TOGETHER.
We got One More Light to lighten up our lives…

I’ve been thinking about it and it would be difficult do a memorial in every country, city, town, etc.

I propose make a transmission in live singing In The End, Numb, Leave Out All The Rest, Iridescent, Burn It Down, Final Masquerade and One More Light since our countries. Just in case the memorial fails…

Chester was such an inspiration and my hero! i cant imagine my life with out LP!

I am so thankful I could be on my first and last of your concerts this year in Prague, thank you for comming there after 10 years. Your music helped me so much in my bad times. Still can’t believe it, you hid it so well.

Hope you are better wherever you are now and nothing hurts you anymore. A legend died today and I will always remember you.

Sending my condolences to the band, family, friends and all LP fans, I’m sure you are all heartbroken as I am.

This feels so bad because Chester & Linkin Park has helped thousands of people (including me) through their depression and other hard times in their lives. And now we couldn’t help him :’(
My eyes are red and swollen from all the crying, but I just can’t stop. I keep reading these comments, it helps a little that we’re all in this together and mourning as one.
A piece broke out of my heart when I heard the news and my heart will never be whole again. Life goes on, but it will never be as bright again without Chester :broken_heart:

There is no words to describe how I feel . Chester and LP my running buddy, my singing along even if I was out of tune , my dance like no one is watching, my sad songs, my happy place… I feel I have lost a friend, my sympathies to his family, friends, the guys in the band whose loss I can only imagine. Much love to my LPU family who I know are as heartbroken as I am :broken_heart:

I don’t normally dream about celebrities but I had one about Chester last night.
He was sitting between my mom and I on a bus. (My mom enjoyed Hybrid Theory and passed away many years ago.) Chester had signed a piece of artwork I’d made and was doodling on the portrait’s background and making the hair into flames. I told him that the song Robot Boy had been enormously helpful and that I’d enjoyed LP since the first album. He gave me a hug.

there are dozens and dozens…all are making…29 popped in mine

Devastated, utterly devastated :sleepy: The man who sang the lyrics that have kept me afloat through so much pain fell to him own demons. Such a tragic loss to those who cared most and wish the outcome was so different. To his family, his friends, the rest of the band and to the fans out there, cherish the memories of a man who brought us so much joy but taken way to early. Vale Chester, RIP brother,

Geoff

Guys I feel a terrible loss too. I wrote a few words to express my grief for the same. If you could read it, I would be happy to have found a familiar ground too.

I miss him.

I’m not sure if I can think right, right now. Going over what happened and how I found out. What my sister told me–she’s giving me 3 weeks and then he wants me to go back to my normal self. But Linkin Park/Chester/Mike/Dave/Brad/Rob/Joe helped mold the Meme of today. So without that one piece, can’t put Meme back together again.

I ligh the candle for him in my church, I didn’t be there for a long time.

Did he do it deliberately on Chris cornell birthday ? Do we know if he left a note? Had he been depressed for years beforehand ? Can’t believe anyone would leave their kids like that…real shocker to hear this

Depression is a monster some people will cured in others is hiding deep inside and pops out in a wrong place and wrong time.

I woke up hoping this was a nightmare. I never got to see them live because I was a teen and my family didn’t have much money. It breaks my heart that they were in my hometown in 2002 and I couldn’t afford to go to a concert, my daughter’s father at the time had tickets and knowing that I was a huge fan never took me. In that relationship I suffered some physical but mostly verbal abuse. It was Linkin Park and Chester’s voice that helped me get through that hard time. I worked so hard to place 2 in the strobe contest so I could meet them. I placed second and was counting down the minutes to see them. I wanted to tell them how much they helped me and still do. I needed to show my daughter’s father that I won that I was out of that relationship and I got to meet the band that meant the world to me aside from him preventing me to see them. My daughter and I would have been attending her first real concert on her bday to a band she loved because of me. I can’t believe he is gone, I just can’t. He seemed so happy and I just never imagined he would be gone. I still can’t believe I feel so numb like the world is at a stand still.

I cried most of the day yesterday. This morning I think I’ve accepted the news but my heart feels broken for his family, for Linkin Park, for his other band mates and for my fellow LPU members and LP fans. Chester’s voice and lyrics always made me feel like I was never alone. When I didn’t know how to say what I was feeling, there was an LP song that seemed to reach my soul. I know SO MANY of y’all know EXACTLY what I mean when I say that. Yesterday was one of those days where it changed something inside me, inside all of us. I reached out and told people how much I loved them. Today I will be making a donation to Music for Relief in Chester’s honor. I know everyone just wishes we could undo yesterday. The love we have Chester, for LP, is immense.

If anyone needs to talk, send me a message, find me on Facebook (ahuggins16) or call a friend or family member. I’ve never met 99% of y’all but we are all connected. I love you guys :heart: please take care of yourselves and always know that someone out there loves you and is there for you.
