It was with a heavy heart today that we found out that Lincoln Park's front man and lead singer Chester Bennington took his own life. It seems like just yesterday we heard news of the passing of Chris Cornell, with that wound still fresh we have been dealt another huge blow to the music community. Chester Bennington helped pioneer the rock/rap hybrid genre and even dabbled in electronic music, as he had a collaboration with Martin Garrix on the way.
