Chester Bennington, Linkin Park frontman, died of apparent suicide on Thursday morning at the age of 41, according to a report from The Associated Press.
“Shortly after 9 a.m. this morning, we were notified by law enforcement of a death in Palos Verdes Estates. We responded to the scene and unfortunately confirmed that Mr. Chester Bennington was deceased at the scene,” said Brian Elias, head of Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner.
Bennington released seven albums with Linkin Park. The band’s latest released “One More Light” was released in May and debuted at number one on Billboard’s album chart.
“Shocked and heartbroken, but it’s true. An official statement will come out as soon as we have one,” said fellow Linkin Park member Mike Shinoda.
Bennington responded to the suicide of singer and close friend Chris Cornell in a note shared on social media.
“I can’t imagine a world without you in it,” he wrote. “I pray you find peace in the next life.”
Bennington performed “Hallelujah” at Cornell’s funeral.
The former Linkin Park singer had previously been open about his struggles with alcohol and drug addiction, which played a role in the creation of many of the band’s biggest hits.
“I have been able to tap into all the negative things that can happen to me throughout my life by numbing myself to the pain, so to speak, and kind of being able to vent it through my music,” he said in a 2009 interview. “I don’t have a problem with people knowing that I had a drinking problem. That’s who I am, and I’m kind of lucky in a lot of ways ’cause I get to do something about it.”
Bennington had described his childhood as unhappy, with his parents divorcing at 11 and being molested by an older friend at the age of “7 or 8.”
Chester Bennington is survived by his wife and six children.

Anyone who has ever flown on an airplane will have had to sit through those dull (but ultimately essential) safety videos.
These inform all passengers what to do in an emergency, which, when you’re on a plane, inevitably means you’re about to crash. Which is a nice thought.
Rest in peace, dear man. Your talent will be remembered.
“USHER has found himself in the middle of a million dollar lawsuit after explosive court documents allege the singer gave an unnamed woman genital herpes in 2012.
Pop icon Madonna has filed an emergency court order to block the auction of a prison letter from Tupac. The order, filed in New York, will put the auction on hold, which was scheduled to go off today.
According to E!News, Gotta Have It! Collectibles, Inc. was in charge of running the auction. Along with the letter, the auction also included a worn pair of underwear and other items.
The order, according to Page Six, was successful, as Manhattan Supreme Court judge Gerald Leibovits has ordered Gotta Have It! Collectibles to remove many Madonna-related items from their auction and website.
“I understand that my DNA could be extracted from a piece of my hair. It is outrageous and grossly offensive that my DNA could be auctioned for sale to the general public,” Madonna said in the emergency suit.
Madonna said she was shocked that her letter from Tupac was even included in the auction, as she was unaware it was no longer in her possession.
Other items that were up for auction included unreleased recordings, personal photographs and intimate love letters to past flames, including Peter Shue and John Enos.
Madonna says former friend and art consultant Darlene Lutz is behind the sale of her items. Lutz, she says, “would have had access to these items on numerous occasions,” as she was a “frequent overnight guest” in her home.
The letter from Tupac made headlines when it was publicized earlier in the month. The personal letter revealed that the former couple broke up over race.
“Can u understand that? For you to be seen with a black man wouldn’t in any way jeopardize your career. If anything it would make you seem that much more open & exciting,” the letter read. “But for me at least in my previous perception I felt due to my ‘image’ I would be letting down half of the people who made me what I thought I was. I never meant to hurt you.”
We’ve all seen them, some of us have tried to beat them, and the vast majority of us have walked away disappointed, muttering under our breath that they’re a massive con.
What am I talking about? Why, those claw machines you see at shopping malls and arcades. They’re designed to part kids with their parents’ money, and they’re amazingly successful at doing so.
