Chester Bennington’s Bandmate & Widow Read Final Texts: ‘He Was In A Life Or Death Battle’

Chester Bennington Late Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington was honored by his Dead By Sunrise bandmate Ryan Shuck at a recent tribute event. Shuck discussed his final conversations with Bennington, and reading the final texts with Chester’s widow Talinda. “A mentally and emotionally healthy Chester would have never meant to hurt any of us, I can promise you that. Never. He was not himself when this happened, and he was not in control. We often spoke at length about the power of our darkness, in an effort to repel it and understand it, not invite it in and let it have its way with us. There’s no easy way to say this, but this was not an act of selfishness, he didn’t mean to hurt us, it was an act of illness. Upon re-reading some of my last texts with Chester, Talinda and I sat there and read them all together. I realized that while he was lovingly encouraging me with my own battle with addiction, and the dark passenger as we called it, he was also clearly describing his o

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.

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

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
