    As a Linkin Park fan since their very first single was released under the Linkin Park name I'm saddened by this news. I always figured the members of Linkin Park and the band itself would be around all my life.

    It is indeed sad news... and an unfortunate day too as the bulk of the fandom are likely to not even notice, with all the SDCC TFs news and focus today.

    "When my time comes
    Forget the wrong that I've done
    Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
    And don't resent me
    And when you're feeling empty
    Keep me in your memory
    Leave out all the rest
    Leave out all the rest"

    It looks like there could be some connection to the death of Chris Cornell - the vocalist for Soundgarden and Audioslave, hung himself two months ago on May 18th, and Chester was godfather to Chris' 11 year old son. Chester sung at his funeral, and then committed suicide in the same way as Chris, on Chris' birthday (July 20th)... so maybe he just wasn't able to deal with the loss of his close friend.
