Hello Steemit...
I come with news that I am not excited to share. The legendary front man for #Linkinpark has ended his life via suicide.

Linkin Park was a alt-rock group that gained popularity with the release of their first ever album, Hyrbrid Theory (2000). This album went platinum in many different countries! Post Hyrbrid Theory, the group released a few more alt-rock albums, meteora (2003) and Minutes to Midnight (2007).

Throughout all of these albums, an emotional and unstable Chester grows as an individual, and you can hear it in both his voice and lyrics. Once an angry, hate fueled singer, he progressed into an introspective philosopher. After years of battling demons, it would have seemed as though he defeated them, as his band stepped foot on bigger and bigger stages! Though, as their new music took a different path, Chester seemed more mature and grown than ever, one could reason he had probably been bottling feelings up more than ever. His music, previously his release, had now become his career, and he could no longer express himself like he used to. Some may even say the group had "sold out". Being a fan since day one, I might even agree.
Nonetheless, the man turned legend deserves to live on, as his music has been inspiring youth with similar problems for over a decade. The man has done so much for the people, the industry, and his genre of music that we must NEVER forget about him. #rememberchester
As a closing remark, I would like to remind all of you to seek out the help you need. Additionally, BE EMPATHETIC relentlessly. We are all in this journey together... let's be the best team we can be.
Free love to all, Zachariah
