It has been just a week since Chester Bennington of Linkin Park was found dead in his home at age 41. Chester committed suicide by hanging in a chillingly similar way that Chris Cornell did back in May.
Fans across the world have been in shock and mourning Chester’s passing over the past week. Some of these fans have even set up memorials where others can remember Chester by bringing photos, posters, candles, and spending time with other Linkin Park fans. Sources tell us that one of these memorials is taking place in Kansas City tomorrow(07/29/17) night at 6pm at the Liberty Memorial. Join fellow Linkin Park fans in remembering Chester.

The remaining members of Linkin Park and the V100 staff encourage those that are feeling depressed or suicidal or if you know someone who is to go HERE.

Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park also encouraged fans to not purchase Chester shirts and other merch from bootleggers, but to purchase items from the Linkin Park web store.
I would also encourage you all to go purchase the new album One More Light. It may not be a typical LP record, but it is beautiful and 100% worth the listen.
Much love to everyone and stay strong. Lean on friends, family and mentors. You’re not alone – Ethan Jackson
One week. Feels like forever. I'm here for a couple updates.
