My day got dark today. Chester Bennington, one of my favorite singers, hung himself at the age of 41. He left behind six children.
Chester had an incredible voice, and I admired both his note dynamic ranges, from melodic singing to angry screaming. I loved his music, and the anger in his voice and lyrics hit even harder as I read about his traumatic abuse as a child and his subsequent drug use and talk of suicide.
I was sad when I found out that Chris Cornell killed himself, but Chester Bennington's suicide hit me pretty hard today.
Rest in peace, Chester. You may be gone, but your music will live forever.
