Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington has committed suicide ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us the singer hanged himself at a private residence in Palos Verdes Estates in L.A. County. His body was discovered Thursday just before 9 AM.

Chester was married with 6 children from 2 wives.

The singer struggled with drugs and alcohol for years. He had said in the past he had considered committing suicide because he had been abused as a child by an older male.

in the end, it didn't even matter.

Sad news though, hybrid theory was one of my favourite albums as a youngster, i can still remember most of the lyrics to this day.

That sucks. I have Hybrid Theory. Never really listened to anything apart from that.

It's a meme, don't worry about it.

Quite upset by this - Pts of Athrty from Reanimation came on my random playlist this afternoon too.

gooseberry fool, I was just thinking yesterday about how sad a day it'd be if/when any member of Linkin Park were to die.

I love a lot of their music. He will be missed. :(

Well this strawberry floating sucks :( I've always been a big fan of Linkin Park and thought Chester seemed like one of the good guys. Wasn't aware of his current mental health state. To leave a wife and 6 kids behind too is pretty heartbreaking.



This song made me emotional as it was. :cry:

Got Hybrid Theory loaded onto Spotify for going home from work. Wouldn't have thought news like this would sadden me so much actually - they were pretty much the soundtrack of 2000/2001 for me though so it's a bit like a part of my childhood dying.
