Ieri Chester Bennington, voce e frontman dei Linkin Park, si è tolto la vita nella sua casa nella contea di Los Angeles. Nelle ultime ore la rete si è riempita delle reazioni di musicisti, artisti e fan. Il primo è stato Mike Shinoda, con cui Chester condivideva il palco da sempre: “Sono sconvolto e ho il cuore spezzato. Ma è successo davvero”, ha scritto su Twitter.
Alcuni hanno reagito con dolore e rabbia, altri hanno condiviso i loro ricordi del cantante. Artisti come Rihanna, Nile Rodgers, Pusha T, Pete Wentz, Chance the Rapper e Jimmy Kimmel hanno voluto dedicare alcune parole a Bennington. Ecco quali:
