Everyone on here must have heard about Linkin Park. Tremendous band. Globally known.
So famous that their songs are known by memory by millions of people all over the world.
They are widely considered one of the most notable bands of the 00s. It's no hyperbole to say that they shaped my generation (the ones born in the mid to late nineties, between the Millennials and Generation Z).
Chester Bennington, the lead singer of the band, took his own life sometime between yesterday night and this morning.
Found dead in a private house in LA. He had it all: once again depression won against a famous and cherished personality. He had it all, and got it all, but he chose to quit the game.
Many speculated about the seemingly high number of suicides in the entertainment industry, mainly music.
One of the many, many explanations is the fear of aging. Many singers, which are by definition very sensitive and sensible people, can't bear the early signs of old age, even when fame is still rampaging and millions of fans cherish them and listen to them every day.
Balding, as we all know, is the sign of old age in men.
Here is Chester Bennington in the early 00s
Then, he tried a very nineties spiked hairstyle to hide his thinning:
Then, this year: a hat prisoner. With a very shitty hat indeed.
The fear of old age can't be ruled out. The singer is young forever; he can't age.
A singer must be like his voice: eternal. We probably truly will never know why.
But the disease definitely played a part in this.
