GAFFA – alt om musik
I går blev Linkin Parks sanger Chester Bennington fundet død i sit hjem i Los Angeles, kun 41 år gammel. Ifølge talrige medier havde Bennington hængt sig selv.
Benningtons sidste optræden med Linkin Park var i Barclaycard Arena i Birmingham 6. juli, hvor de afsluttede deres Europaturné. Touren skulle have fortsat i Mansfield, Massachusetts 27. juli, men sådan skulle det desværre ikke gå.
En lang række musikere har skrevet mindeord på sociale medier, og du kan læse et udvalg nedenfor. En del af kommentarerne er fundet af Rolling Stone.
Linkin Park har endnu ikke udtalt sig officielt, men bandets rapper Mike Shinoda har skrevet følgende på Twitter:
Shocked and heartbroken, but it's true. An official statement will come out as soon as we have one.

Mindeord fra musikere:
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..
