    Incredibly sad to learn that Linken Park frontman Chester Bennington took his life only two months after losing his good friend Chris Cornell from Soundgarden under the same circumstances, he even wrote an open letter to Chris Cornell after his passing about it. I loved his music from when I was in high school and was only listening to it tonight as I went out for an evening walk, such talent and to lose him at such a young age.

    horrible - why can't they get help instead of doing this, taking their lives. So horrible...

    Its simple and easy when you're looking at it from the outside but reading this thread and having close friends experience it, bright and successful young men often have the hardest time of all getting help which is what makes them the highest risk category. I genuinely wish it were easier as there are a lot of lives that could be saved.

    That age group of rock/grunge musicians has been decimated. Incredibly sad.
