What happened to former Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington? Inside the heartbreaking story of singer's death in 2017 - after the band's reunion announcement
Chester was found dead at his home in Palos Verdes Estates, south of Los Angeles, on July 20, 2017, at the age of 41. His death was ruled a suicide by hanging.
But the news sparked backlash, with Chester's son Jaime calling out Emily's ties with Scientology, and past support of actor Danny Masterson, while his mother Susan Eubanks accused the band of reneging on their promise to let her know if they planned to reunite. His bandmates - Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, Dave Farrell, Joe Hahn and Rob Bourdon - thanked fans for the outpouring of support both they and Chester's wife Talinda and his six children have received since his tragic death. Formed in 1996, Linkin Park rose to international fame with the huge success of their debut studio album, Hybrid Theory (2000), which went on to sell more than 32 million copies worldwide over the years.
