LINKIN PARK LEAD SINGER DEAD

First Published:

Linkin Park lead singer Chester Bennington has been found dead near his Los Angeles home.  The L.A. coroner’s office says police are investigating his death as an apparent suicide.

Bennington and Linkin Park sold millions of albums with their mix of hard rock, hip-hop and rap.  Their debut album in 2000 “Hybrid Theory” sold 10-million copies. Three years later the group sold another 4 million copies of “Meteora.” Both albums explored feelings of frustration and fury.

Linkin Park won Grammys for best hard rock performance in 2001 and best rap/sung collaboration in 2005.

TMZ reports that Bennington, 41, was found hanging inside a private residence.   He was the father of six children from two wives.  Bennington  had struggled with drug and alcohol addition and in interviews had admitted to considering suicide a result of having been abused as a child by an older male.
