La mañana de este jueves 20 de julio, el estadounidense Chester Bennington fue encontrado muerto por aparente suicidio y las reacciones no tardaron en llegar a través de redes sociales.
Músicos de todo el mundo han despedido al vocalista de Linkin Park, quien fue la voz principal del conjunto por más de 15 años hasta el último show a principios de julio pasado. Una de las primeras personas en despedirse fue la viuda de Chris Cornell, Vicky, con quien fue cercano debido a la amistad entre ambos cantantes.
Just when I thought my heart couldn't break any more…..I love you T

Desde su compañero de banda Mike Shinoda hasta ilustres como Paul Stanley de KISS y la banda Garbage han dicho adiós a una de las voces más destacadas del nuevo siglo.

artists are ppl compelled to bring beauty into a world that can be so dark. makes sense then that artists are always conscious of darkness..
