Lead singer of Linkin Park has committed suicide, not my cup of tea in music be always sad to hear of people taking their own life. They had a big following so going to effect a lot of people. RIP
Damn! Just seen that. Leaves 6 kids behind. He must have been so tormented to do that. Poor guy. Loved their early stuff!!
Mental health is such a massive thing, it's harder nowadays to find someone who isn't in some way affected or battling something. Often those in the face of it the most sorted, the biggest characters, they suffer because either they won't speak up about their issues or they do and folk palm it off or don't take it seriously. I can't begin, as someone who's had serious issues myself, to imagine how deeply affected someone just be to get to the point of suicide. It's great that people are speaking out more about these things, breaking taboos, but there's so, so far to come in the world. I feel for the fella family, friends, I'd imagine many had no clue whatsoever. I often wonder are the last few generations starting to see the long term affects of what we did in our youth, Mandy, Coke etc, cos it seems like almost everyone is affected in some way. It's a ****ty thing, and we all need to be there for everyone cos it's not going away. It's the world we live in now, **** is hard every day, even when you're doing well.
What a top band in their early days. Some fantastic stuff. Guess in the end it did matter Thanks for some top tunes.
Great voice. He sang at the funeral of Chris Cornell so wonder how much his suicide had an effect. Always sad to hear at such young age with a large family and millions of fans.
