Not gonna lie, this hurts so much. I used to listen to his music back in high school. One of very few musicians I ever bothered to learn by name.
Linkin Park wonāt be the same without him.

How? I havent had a chance to read it.
Man, this sucksā¦ And in the same way as Chris Cornell too, whom heād apparently been close friends with.
Itās sad, but hereās hoping theyāre both at peace.
My heart aches having to read it. Iāve always have loved listening to Linkin Park since I was kid. And now, I donāt think I can listen to their songs and not think about what just happen.

This is messed up. I have listened to their songs for quite some time, especially when brainstorming ideas on my story. My heart goes out to the family, friends, and the band :ā(

This sucks big time, hybrid theory was my first ever album purchased back at high school, and still to this day is up there with my favourite albums ever. RIP Chester.

Man, that sucks. Hybrid Theory was pretty much the soundtrack to Geometry Wars for me back in the early 360 days, and I probably logged a hundred hours or 2 into that game. I also loved how when they made their songs for the first 2 Transformers movies they both had the same chord progression throughout the chorus as the classic Transformers theme song.
I hope everyone around him is taking the loss well.

Wow, this is REALLY shocking and sad music news I must say now 
Does anyone else think itās strange that celebrities almost always die by either hanging themselves or overdosing on drugs (prescription or otherwise)? Iām starting to wonder if thereās something more sinisterā¦
In any event, itās always sad to see someone take their own life. I canāt imagine what it feels like to think that youāve got nothing left to live for.

I think a lot of it has to do with the ācleanlinessā of the death. In both cases there is little gore for the family to deal with.
Mental illness is a very real issue, and sadly depression can lead people into dark places. Celebs get hit hard because their lives are so public, and there is a lot of pressure on them to perform, to be top of their game, and such.
Its always sad when a person feels that there isnāt anything worth living for.
