CHESTER BENNINGTON's Family To Combat Copycat Suicides

According to  The Pulse Of Radio , the family of late  LINKIN PARK  frontman  Chester Bennington  is establishing an organization to help fans who are struggling to come to terms with the vocalist's suicide. Sources told TMZ that the organization will aim to raise awareness and provide resources to fans and young people contemplating suicide. The  Bennington  family is said to be worried that fans may want to "glorify or somehow honor" the deaths of  Bennington  and his friend,  SOUNDGARDEN  singer  Chris Cornell , by taking their own lives.  Cornell  hung himself on May 18, while  Bennington  ended his life the same way on July 20 — what would have been  Cornell 's 53rd birthday. There is currently no timeline for when the organization will be established. Following  Bennington 's death, his  LINKIN PARK  bandmates established a tribute site that also provides links to resources for anyone in need of support.

MTV Disrespects Chester Bennington & Chris Cornell At VMA’s

Linkin Park and Soundgarden fans were disappointed with MTV for cutting to commercial break during the tribute for Chester Bennington and Chris Cornell at the Video Music Awards last night. Jared Leto gave a beautiful tribute that was acclaimed by fans, but viewers were not happy when MTV quickly cut to commercial just as they started playing a 2010 Linkin Park VMA’s performance. A fan wrote on Linkin Park’s Reddit, “Jared Leto was giving a tribute to both Chester Bennington and Chris Cornell during the 2017 VMAs and Jared along with Julia Michaels were the only ones that actually cared to do a tribute. Everybody else in the audience were so disrespectful and didn’t give a shit that Jared had to ask the audience twice for them to stand up and while Julia Michaels was supposed to do a tribute to Chester, MTV just cut to commercial break. How disrespectful! I usually don’t care about award shows anymore since they don’t care about music anymore, but this just really made me sick a

Linkin Park Planning 'Special Public Event' in Los Angeles to Tribute Chester Bennington

Chester Bennington of Linkin Park performs at The O2 Arena on July 3, 2017 in London, England.   Linkin Park  is getting ready to give fans the opportunity to salute its fallen vocalist.  On Tuesday (Aug. 22) the band shared its intention to memorialize Chester Bennington in its home city, presumably in the near future.   “The five of us are so grateful for all of your support as we heal and build the future of Linkin Park,” the social media note reads. “We are working on a special public event in Los Angeles to honor Chester’s memory and look forward to sharing details with you soon.” Linkin Park has not performed since Bennington committed suicide on July 20 and has kept a decidedly low profile, subtly paying its respects as necessary. The new message suggests the five remaining members may be planning some sort of live performance, or at least a public appearance in Bennington’s memory. Linkin Park had been scheduled for a summer co-headlining tour with Blink-182, tho

Talinda Bennington, widow of Linkin Park's Chester Bennington, shared music from their son Jaime  on Twitter  on Wednesday. CHECK IT ON SOUND CLOUD :  https://soundcloud.com/jaime-bennington "I decided to sit down with my piano and have a conversation about what we wanted out of music," he continued. "I purposely forced myself to stray away from any of the hard-wired academic prejudices that I had the tendency to fall back on. These pieces took me far away from any notion of form, harmony, or time that I had so desperately wanted to control."Jaime's compositions, the latest installment of an ongoing series titled  Reveries , are solo piano pieces inspired by his "love for the incredible Dimitri Shostakovich." In a note on  his blog  from last month, the 21-year-old explained that he was inspired after a months-long listening session that involved "the systematic consumption of every [Shostakovich] symphony, brooding string qua

The untold truth of Chester Bennington

He was abused as a child In a 2008 interview with Kerrang!, Bennington revealed that he was molested by an older friend at the age of seven. "I was getting beaten up and being forced to do things I didn't want to do. It destroyed my self-confidence," he told the magazine. "Like most people, I was too afraid to say anything. I didn't want people to think I was gay or that I was lying. It was a horrible experience." It was a defining moment in Bennington's life that he only revealed after critics cast doubt on the authenticity of the pain in his lyrics, according to The Guardian. Despite succumbing to substance abuse to cope with the childhood trauma, Bennington chose not to pursue retribution against his abuser. After discovering that his abuser had himself been a victim of abuse, Bennington said, "I didn't need revenge." He struggled with drug addiction at a young age Bennigton's parents divorced when he was
