Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington has committed suicide ... TMZ has learned.
Law enforcement sources tell us the singer hanged himself at a private residence in Palos Verdes Estates in L.A. County. His body was discovered Thursday just before 9 AM.
Chester was married with 6 children from 2 wives.
The singer struggled with drugs and alcohol for years. He had said in the past he had considered committing suicide because he had been abused as a child by an older male.
Chester was very close with Chris Cornell, who himself committed suicide by hanging in May. Today would have been Cornell's 53rd birthday. Chester wrote an open letter to Chris on the day of Chris' suicide.
The band has had a string of hits over the years, including "Faint," "In the End" and "Crawling." Linkin Park crossed music genres, collaborating with Jay-Z.
The band's album, "Meteroa," was one of the biggest alternative albums in music history.
Bennington was 41.
RIP
^ being reported by TMZ, people still trying to get confirmation from the band's sources.

Sad day...again. We all too often tend to forget that, in listening to music, we overlook the lyrics are the artist baring their souls in an effort to cope with past events. Sometimes the music is therapy for them...and all too frequently, it's simply not enough. In my lifetime, that list has grown far too lengthy!

The guilt that comes with making so much bad, bad music must have weighed heavily on him. Rest in peace (and quiet)

seems he could have afforded rehab and mental health treatment. Instead he chose to ride that razors edge for the benefit of his art.

That's the thing though , so many who do it don't want help or rehabilitation. They just want out .

People's definition of "real problems" depends on the individual. No two people cope exactly the same. Nobody really knows what kind of demons others are actually facing. Think about the big picture before you judge.

big picture is very sick people in this country who have to worry day in and day out about losing their healthcare,wives losing a husband in Afghanistan, and cancer wards full of children. But if you like I will play a tiny fiddle for the manically depressed rock star that abused drugs an alcohol and decided to kill himself. All that wealth and fame must have given him PTSD. poor guy.

And yet you still miss the point. At least you think you have all the answers though. Carry on.

Not the classiest response I could've come up, I admit. Linkin Park was awful, though.
