It’s chilling to see what appears to be a cheerful Bennington sitting in the front seat, knowing the struggles he was dealing with now. His wife addressed this as well on her Twitter, which she now uses to advocate for suicide prevention.

The band has not announced a timeline for when they plan to get back to the stage. Scheduled to perform at One Ok Rock in Japan, the band released a statement, reading, “Until now, we have not communicated about our November shows because we sincerely wished to play, even in the wake of Chester’s passing. We are working each day to grieve, heal, and work towards stepping on stage together without our dear friend.”
We continue to keep Chester’s fans and loved ones in our thoughts and prayers. If you or someone you love is dealing with suicidal thoughts, or appears to show symptoms, please reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Hotline.
