Fuck

 

[Palmer_v1]

Damn, it's a shame he wasn't able to get whatever help he needed. Feel bad for the family he left behind.

 

[Machina]

Wow holy shit

 

[gimmmick]

Damn. So sad to hear. My wife wanted to buy tickets to see them in Vegas last week

 

[kyle-777-]

WTF??? RIP. Really sad, my condolences to the family.

 

[CB3]

Man, I REALLY liked Hybrid Theory. That was a big album for me when I was a kid.

RIP

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

FUCK. Get me out of this timeline where all my childhood heroes are committing suicide one after another.

GET ME OUT.

 

[Fou-Lu]

Holy fuck. Not Chester, he seemed like a great guy and his music was huge for me as a kid.

 

[mnz]

With six children? Damn

 

[Skellig Gra]

Terrible news. It's crazy how much this stuff consumes people.

 

[MCN]

FUCK!

Chester always came across as a genuinely good guy, and he was one hell of a singer.

RIP Chester.

 

[Poppy]

guhhhh this sucks, as lame as it may be in retrospect (which who even cares) LP was music that got me through some of those early teenage times of wanting to die every day, this is a real kick in the teeth man...

 

[djplaeskool]

Damn.
LP was more or less dominant in my early college years.
I even have a signed vinyl of Meteora.

RIP
Sometimes it's hard to keep fighting those demons

 

[BFIB]

Today would have been Cornell's 53rd birthday. Wonder if it all became too much. He did so much to help those coping with Cornell's suicide.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

DAMN. This really blindsided me, dude had talent. RIP

 

[Strakt]

wtf... no way..

 

[MoonsaultSlayer]

Holy shit, they were just advertised on the radio for their tour coming through the state.

RIP.

 

[Nightwing123]

WOW may he R.I.P my thoughts and prayers go out to his family

 

[kami_sama]

RIP
Thank you for some of my most listened to music. You were always there on my teenage years.

 

[Icolin]

What the fuck. RIP.

 

[Kevtones]

Not a fan of their music anymore but I was in middle school. What a sad story.

Rest In Peace Chester.

 

[Arc]

Holy shit RIP

 

[kmax]

Jesus fucking christ.

Linkin Park was my shit during the early 2000's. Fuck...so sad.

 

[FTF]

Damn shame, RIP and condolences do his family.

And damn 6 kids

 

[OriginofHysteria]

Wtf nooooooo.

RIP

 

[GregLombardi]

That's horrifying. Have been a huge fan of theirs over the years, especially during my angsty teenage years when I first saw them debut-ish at Ozzfest. Hits home.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Wow wtf

RIP

 

[Seijuro]

Damn son!

RIP!

 

[RumblingRosco]

This is awful. I genuinely really loved LP as a kid/teenager and even as an adult have enjoyed listening to their stuff. Chester had a great voice.

 

[whytemyke]

Hands Held High is still on my workout playlist

 

[smokeymicpot]

WHAT THE HELL. Damn I wonder if all that negative reactions from the new album got to him. RIP.

He was friends with Chris Cornell so that probably got to him.

 

[RivalCore]

Horrible to hear. Rest in peace and my heart goes out to his family.

 

[jfkgoblue]

Umm, he was married twice... His kids didn't all come from the same mother.

Well it's still a terrible thing to do to his family.

 

[Ashhong]

oh my god........RIP....

 

[Draconestra]

Damn RIP. This was my band when I was a teenager

 

[unpopularblargh]

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Rest in peace.

Also this makes me look at some songs on their last album in a whole different light.

 

[-NeoTB1-]

Holy shit. Damn, that's really sad to hear. I've had suicides in my family, so I know how hard it's going to be on his family and friends, too. I wish them all the best.

Same. RIP, Chester.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Damn, I fucking grew up on Hybrid Theory

This sucks

 

[G0523]

I'm not seeing this anywhere else besides TMZ. And apparently, there was a suicide hoax about him a couple of days ago? Can anyone else confirm?

 

[Spinluck]

RIP

 

[EchoChamber]

Oh God no

 

[Username1198]

Holy shit.

RIP

 

[Metalmarc]

What the actual fuck, no way, i wasnt much into Linkin Park recently but liked their first album way back and the transformers songs

RIP

 

[Rocketz]

Damn

 

[malfcn]

Holy shit.

Losing Cornell must have really effected him.

 

[Sojgat]

RIP

 

[ersocaster]

This is horrible news. I listened to them non-stop when I was younger, and i still liked listening to them today. Chester was great.

 

[Quick]

Holy shit.

RIP.

Grew up on LP (as did a lot of us, I'm sure), this really fucking sucks to say the least.

 

[VeryGooster]

Wow man.

RIP

Fucking awful.
