NEW YORK: Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington, who overcame a troubled childhood to top the charts with an angry but melodic brand of metal, was found dead Thursday in an apparent suicide. Just hours before his death, Linkin Park had released a video for its latest single, “Talking To Myself,” whose lyrics took on a new meaning. Blockbuster debutBennington’s start with Linkin Park sounded like the lore of an earlier era. Linkin Park went on to release six more studio albums, all of them entering the top three on the US charts. Rockers paid tribute to Bennington including Avril Lavigne, who recalled his kindness when they both played Germany’s Rock Am Ring festival.
