When I was watching the news this morning, I saw this news: Linkin Park lead singer Chester Bennington hanged himself at home at the age of 465,438+0.

I am a slow-witted person, but I feel sorry silently in my heart. Because I'm not a big fan of Linkin Park, I don't even know who the lead singer is. Later, I felt something was wrong more and more, and got a lot of news about him. Weibo Hot Search also rushed to the first place.

I asked my roommate, "Have you heard Linkin Park's songs?" "No."

Maybe you don't know Linkin Park, but if you have seen Transformers, you will hear their songs. They arranged four theme songs of Transformers. Even though this movie series has become synonymous with bad movies, I still remember the surging mood when I first heard what I did.

I feel a little blocked, but I can't find anyone to share it with. So I immediately opened Netease Cloud, typed "Linkin Park" in the search box, and started to enter the loop mode.

Suicide on a friend's birthday

Browsed a lot of news and pieced together some information.

It was learned that the lead singer Chester was found hanging himself in his residence in Los Angeles at 9 am EST on July 20th, at the age of 4 1.

And this day happened to be the 53rd birthday of chris cornell, his good friend and lead singer of Yinyuan. In May this year, chris cornell also hanged himself. Chester also sang at Chris' funeral.

Linkin Park was scheduled to tour the world in May this year, and the Los Angeles concert is scheduled to be held on October 22nd, 65438.

Now that Chester, the lead singer, has left, Linkin Park is no longer Linkin Park, and how many fans owe tickets for the Linkin Park concert will never come back.

The last message of lead singer Chester on the Internet was an interaction with fans on Twitter five days ago. A fan of Linkin Park once uploaded two photos of him and left a message "I hope you can keep this hairstyle".

Chester replied "I agree" and asked fans to say, "Your reply made my evening wonderful." The post also poured in many news of condolences.

Now things have changed. If you say a person, how can you say that there is nothing without it?

Depression? Drug addiction? Sexual assault?

As for the cause of Chester's suicide, some foreign media analysts said that long-term drug addiction and alcohol addiction destroyed his mind. In the lyrics such as Numbness and Breaking Habits, his inner struggle, depression and addiction to alcohol and drugs are also revealed.

Chester also revealed in his early years that he was sexually assaulted by an older man in his childhood and then had suicidal thoughts. Others think that his friend chris cornell's suicide gave him a direct stimulus.

Chester committed suicide for a reason, but we don't know what we live for. Living is never easy. Even becoming a king of pop can't soothe his pain and depression. He said, "I tried, but everything was in vain."

In the face of his death, the first sentence that rose in my heart was: "I lived again and again to die." It was too painful to live, so he chose to go to another world.

The passing of a generation of rock youth

In fact, I forgot that Linkin Park was one of the earliest European and American bands I knew, and their songs accompanied me through junior high school and senior high school. After going to college, Linkin Park gradually faded out of my song list.

One cycle after another, I realized that many of their songs are a cycle. Listening to their songs, you can feel the two most primitive desires of human beings: destruction and creation, and the two forces are equal.

You can feel the original cry, tearing your heart out, screaming at the top of your lungs, bursting with strength, boiling blood and burning stimulation, but it's not enough.

Song after song goes round and round, comments keep setting new records, and the whole world seems to be holding a "carnival" of mourning for the lead singer Chester. I am not an iron fan, watching the touching comment, "I have an uncle sitting in my office crying with headphones." I also shed tears, alone in the dormitory.

I did not know him before. When I met him, he was no longer in this world. After so many years, I finally matched his voice with his face, only to find that the voice of a small fresh meat came from the image of a tough uncle.

The voice in my ear suddenly realized that I could never hear it again.

Save the rest is the first song I know about Linkin Park and the first English song I learned to sing. And when I listen to Linkin Park with someone I like. Now that we are separated, even Linkin Park is no longer complete.
