“I’m just going to say that. I’m saying it because I know that as soon as the band says something, someone is going to get too hot when nothing is happening,” he added. The group had declared that they did not want to replace their dead singer.
Chester Bennington killed himself by hanging on July 20, 2017. He was battling alcohol and drugs and had revealed in the past that he had already considered suicide, after being sexually abused by a man when he was a child.
He was known for his hits as Number, In the End And Faint. The Scrapbook Meteora by Linkin Park has sold over 10 million copies worldwide, and is considered one of the greatest alternative music albums in history.
