Linkin Park's latest video with Chester Bennington blew up the Net. For some reason, the lead singer of the band "Linkin Park" committed suicide

Linkin Park determined their status. After the death of Chester Bennington, there were rumors that the group was over, because without a lead vocalist, the show would not be able to continue. On October 27, Linkin Park played their first show without Chester, but in his honor.

A concert titled Linkin Park Celebrates Life in Honor of Chester Bennington was held in Los Angeles. The entire US rock scene took part in the show: Sum 41, Blink-182, No Doubt, System of a Down, Korn, Bring Me the Horizon.

And 17 thousand spectators. They became the main shock of the concert - see how the audience sings the part of Chester in the track In The End in chorus.

And don't forget what it was like with Chester.

Linkin Park is not the first to be left without a main vocalist. The same trouble happened to Queen, Nirvana, INXS, The Doors - the list is long, as is the number of members of the club 27. How did the supergroups manage without a leader?

Nirvana

You haven't heard Nirvana live since 1994. Chris Novoselic and Dave Grohl decided that there was no point in performing these songs without Kurt. Dave formed the Foo Fighters, Chris became a political activist, which they did until 2014.

In 2014, Nirvana was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and performed live for the first time in 20 years. Dave sat on the drums, Chris connected the bass, and everyone came out to the microphone best friends groups.

Kim Gordon sings Aneurysm:

Joan Jett with her version of Smells Like Teen Spirit:

Those who started making music after listening to Kurt also performed their own versions of their favorite songs.

Annie Clark performed Lithium:

Lorde sang All apologies:

Nirvana is not going to return with a new album and concert tour - their friendship was too sacred. It remains only to revise the classics in moments of sadness.

Queen

After the death of Freddie Mercury, Queen stopped releasing studio albums, and guest vocalists began to perform at concerts.

Freddie was replaced by Paul Rogers.

And Zemfira.

AT recent times Queen play with Adam Lambert, the finalist of the show " american idol". Look what Adam is like as a frontman:

The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert for AIDS Awareness is Queen's biggest concert since Freddie Mercury's death. It brought together 72,000 people at London's Wembley Stadium in 1992. David Bowie, George Michael, Elton John, Annie Lennox and many others performed on stage with Queen famous musicians for whom Freddie was both a friend and an idol.

Look how happy Elton John was when he performed Bohemian Rhapsody:

George Michael did a great job too:

Freddie Mercury knew for sure: as long as there are such friends, the show will continue.

Joy Division

When Ian Curtis passed away, the remaining members of Joy Division gathered in a bar and decided they would start over with a new name. This is how the story of New Order begins. Their starting point was two latest songs Jena - Ceremony and In A Lonely Place. This is how they sounded in the latest recordings of Joy Division:

That's how you heard them from New Order.

Joy Division did not collect any tribute concerts after Ian's death. Few people could repeat Ian.

Only Thom Yorke. On a personal initiative:

Chester Bennington, rock band lead singer Linkin Park, was found hanged in his house. He is 41 years old

They say he had a difficult childhood. At first, an older guy offended him and seemed to even sexually harass him, and Chester was afraid to tell anyone about it.

Then his parents divorced, and he was forced to live with an unloved father, a policeman, who, as a son, did not deal with him at all. As a result, Chester met bad guys who addicted him to opium, amphetamines, marijuana and cocaine. When in 1992 the police tied up drug dealers, Chester had to be treated. True, then he again used all this rubbish, and also washed it down with alcohol.

In 1996, a group was formed Linkin Park and she is still doing very well. They have sold 70 million albums worldwide and have toured everywhere.

They say Chester was very worried about the death of musician Chris Cornell, who was found in a hotel room with a noose around his neck in May of this year, 2017. Chester sang a song at Chris' funeral "Hallelujah", then said several times that he wanted to commit suicide, and finally, on July 20, Chris's birthday, committed suicide in exactly the same way. However, maybe it's not all that bad. Now everyone will remember him young and handsome, not old and sick.

Here is his Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Chester-Bennington-11096879251/

By the way, the concert is not the last, but the penultimate one. The last one was in Birmingham, but there the quality of the video is so-so, everything was filmed only from a distance. This video is better.

In general, death is a very strange thing. Nobody saw the body, the funeral was held in secret on July 29, 2017, the grave is not shown. Why so much secrecy? Is it because on the body, besides the trace of the belt around the neck, there was something else that no one needed to see? Or because there was no body at all?

A bunch of the most various rumors. Among them are:

Chris Cornell didn't hang himself, he was killed. By the way, I myself came across an article in the bourgeoisie with a police report from the place of his death, I saw a photo of the hotel room where everything happened, and even a noose from the expander that was found around his neck. It was written there that in the bathroom where everything happened, there was a lot of blood that had flowed from Chris's mouth. Does this happen when hanging? Chris's family refused to accept the fact that he committed suicide while in his right mind, arguing that he probably took too many pills, which he really took a lot (both exciting and calming), and it was an accident. Doctors also said that the pills have nothing to do with it.

Chester was also killed, as was Cornell, because they both crossed the path of some unclean politicians. About it .

Chester knew that he would be killed, so he faked his own death.

The last album actually failed, but after the death of Chester it became incredibly popular. Here again about the imitation of death. Only it is not known where the "deceased" is now hiding.

It’s also curious that on Tuesday the 18th, 2 days before Chester’s death, news about his suicide appeared on the Western Internet, which was later recognized as a lie and reported that this was some kind of site winding up its rating in this way, but in fact the musician alive and well.

On the day of Bennington's death, several entries appeared on his wife's Twitter page, one of which read: "He did not die by hanging, but earlier..." The entries disappeared after that, and everyone was told that it was a hacking of the page by hackers.

In general, nothing is clear. But it is known that less than 1.5 months before his death, Chester Bennington acquired luxury house with a bunch of bedrooms and bathrooms, a swimming pool and other bells and whistles. It's strange to kill yourself in it.

Well, the video I liked.
