I slept so little last night…and for once, it had nothing to do with me having a newborn. I cried so much. I met Chester 3 Times in the past, and was supposed to meet him once again in Montreal in about 2 weeks…
I am…devastated…my brain is unable to process the permanent situation here…dead…no coming back. I rarely struggle with my words, but now I do. Probably because there is no words for this.
Chester, oh dear Chester. You saved my life once. How I wish I could’ve saved yours too! Rest in peace, brother!

I had the pleasure of meeting him three times. He was humble every time, always made eye contact with me and never seemed burdened. He was a hard working, passionate guy that has given me so many great memories. I’m heartbroken that there will be no more, but I’m grateful for the ones I have. RIP Chester, I’m going to miss you.

Waking up and I feel no better than I did yesterday… guy I honestly don’t know how to handle this. I’ve been on and off crying since I found out and it’s a pain I’ve never felt before… loss… I’m left with so many questions, the loudest being “WHY?!” I woke up heartbroken it wasn’t all some sick joke… like I would wake up to a tweet from him saying something cocky and witty in his usual manner. I had tickets to see them in Cincinnati in less than a month, and I won a meet and greet thru the strobe contest… I had saw them and met them once before two years ago. Chester and his voice have been in my life since I was only a few years old. Still utterly shocked and broken

Heard it on the radio in the morning while I was not really listening and my reaction was:“What?! What?! Shit!”
Spent my whole way to work and later back home listening to Linkin Park. This is sad, this is bad. And I won’t say “Everything is going to be alright.” because nothing is going to be alright, not for his children nor for the guys nor for me. I never met him, I would have loved to meet LP, I never got the chance, but he was an example for me to keep going (because he kept going too and through their music). And now he is gone and LP is never going to be the same or ok. I miss him and his music. I hope his children and wife and David, Joe, Mike, Rob and Brad will learn to live with it, so it’s not a constant pain but more a dull ache.
Still, thank you all for your music.
Es tut mir Leid.

Same here. I had never gotten to meet them but was going to try with the LPU lotto.
Meeting Chris Cornell in 1999 remains one of my favorite moments in life.

When I found out what happened, I refused to believe it. I had hopes it was a stupid hoax. Then Mike confirmed it. Did I cry? Yes, was I upset of course. I went into the bathroom washed my face with cold water and just stared at my reflection. Right then and there, I felt selfish. I did not know him personally but it still hurt. Then I imagined what his wife must be going through. That pain of knowing the love of your life is gone. Knowing, she has to be strong for their family. Right then my tears stopped. I started to think, why? It sucks.
Whatever it was that tore at his soul, he hid it well. To Talinda, Samantha, Draven and the rest of the Bennington clan, I am truely sorry for your loss. To the rest of the guys in Linkin Park, I know the pain of losing someone so sudden, its an unbearable pain. My deepest condolences. To my fellow LPU’ers and LPST members, we gotta remember the music, the many times we attended shows and how alive we felt. Remember that behind the smiles of others, there is a deep pain that flows. Remember Chester for being a husband, father and someone we love. You will be missed man. I am fortunate that I attended that show at GCT. He was all smiles and extremely grateful for the response. Below is that smile #RIPChesterBennington #Linkinpark #devastated #LPU #LPST

It’s all a bad dream. When can we all wake up and hear his beautiful voice again? See him jumping and running on the stage? Hear his joke, see his smile? Please, tell me when

Today I had my hardest day ever. I wasn’t able to listen to LP without crying, I wasn’t able just to think about the lose without crying. These songs saved me once - now everything is coming up again. I never felt so brocken. All the losses I had are coming back with this huge loss. I have to move on but I’m not able to do so. I feel breathless, like in a cage, no escape… I’ll ever miss ya and remembering what you’ve done for me as I was that desperate that no light comes thru. Now I’m older and “understand” this thing called live. But it’s so hard at this moment to realize and understand and handle it.

I’m speechless. I can’t stop crying. Our birthdays are 1 month to the day apart. I loved you man!
Your struggles were my struggles, now what will I do. I’m mad but my sadness takes control. I know something just snapped in you and you felt nothing could ever change. But it will in paradise my friend- for you and Chris. How much we all love you! We will never forget your heavenly voice. Thank you my friend. See you on the other side where no one will ever have to be in pain or cry again. May God bless and keep you until He calls your name again.
