如果你爱过林肯公园，此刻天都灰了

噩耗传来，世人震惊——美国摇滚天团“林肯公园”主唱查斯特·贝宁顿被发现在家中上吊自尽，年仅41岁。

Chester Bennington, the lead singer of rock band Linkin Park, was found dead at his home in southern California in an apparent suicide. He was 41.

Law enforcement sources reveal that Bennington has hanged himself.

查斯特的队友麦克·信田（Michael Shinoda）在推特发文证实了这一不幸的消息，同时表示震惊、心碎。

据外媒报道，查斯特选择自杀的这天正巧是他的已故好友Chris Cornell的生日。Chris Cornell是声音花园的主唱，今年5月18日他在酒店上吊轻生。

Chris Cornell was found dead of suicide by hanging on May 18 following Soundgarden's performance in Detroit.

两人生前惺惺相惜，如今选择以同样的方式离世，让人唏嘘不已。

Chester Bennington once wrote a letter thanking Chris Cornell for inspiring him.

查斯特生前曾经因为药物和酒精成瘾的问题而饱受困扰。不过他一直努力摆脱这一切。

Bennington had a history of alcohol and drug abuse. He had spoken openly in the past about his struggles to overcome his demons when Linkin Park first found success in 2000 with the album "Hybrid Theory." 

But in 2011 he said he had been sober for six years.

林肯公园不久前才发布了新专辑，粉丝正热切期待其巡回演出。此时却突然传出噩耗，歌迷的天都灰了！

The band's latest studio album, "One More Light," was released in May, and Linkin Park embarked on a world tour.

推特上的这样一句评价，或许说出了许多人的心声：

Eilene Rosero: Linkin Park brought Rock back in the early 2000s, 17 years later it goes silent..

此刻我们重温林肯公园的经典之作 In the End，歌中唱到：

I tried so hard

And got so far

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

I had to fall

To lose it all

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

似乎字字句句都是查斯特无力挣扎的心声……

你也听过他的歌吗，你最爱的是哪一首？

RIP Chester Bennington.
