Oh my goodness how awful

Like @Kristina said, Linkin Park are a band we grew up with. Horrendous news

I loved a lot of LP's music growing up. RIP Chester.

Yes. They were set to start touring next week.

[QUINN 19,361]

God and they just released a music video this morning

That's devastating  It's always really hard to hear this kind of news, and it's especially heavy on the heart knowing that he was going through so much pain that led to this. I wish all the best to his family, I can't even imagine what they must be going through.

One More Light went out  

[QUINN 19,361]

This was just confirmed by the LA county coroner's office.

My dad works for them and we've been friends with Linkin Park forever. Woah this is so shocking 

[QUINN 19,361]

I'm legit avoiding texting my sister because I don't wanna upset her while she's at work but I feel like she already knows and that's making me even sadder FJDKSKSK 

[Alex. 32,005]

Well my dad said everything should be fine for the band, I'll just hope for the best

They were due to start touring a week from today. Surely they'll cancel/postpone...

Yeah, my dad is their agent and was the one who booked all of these tour dates

I mostly stopped posting on FOTP, but this is too important for me to leave unsaid.

 

If anyone reading this has been dealing with depression, self-harm, or suicidal thoughts, please talk to a counselor or contact a hotline. You matter, you are loved, and you are not alone. It isn't easy to put yourself out there, but trying to get help will be one of the best decisions you've ever made and you will thank yourself later. Below is a list of numbers you can call, and while I'm by no means a mental health professional I'd be happy to listen and help somehow if you send me a PM. <3

My God ... this is horrible. Suicide is selfish and is NOT an answer! Be safe everyone! 

When depression clouds the mind, nothing else matters. Definitely not the answer, but mental health is something so complex. We can never explain why people do that or why they would put their families and loved ones through this.
