“And the shadow of the day Will embrace the world in gray And the sun will set for you.”

Goodbye, Chester. Thank you so much for being my hero, I wouldn’t be here without you.

You are forever my hero. Thank you for everything. I am sorry that I can’t tell you this directly.

For anyone else who’s taken the loss of Chester Bennington hard, here are a few videos of him that make me smile. This is how I’d like to remember him: being absolutely ridiculous.

Red Bull Sound Space Lightning Round - three minutes of Chester and Mike making each other laugh. My favourite part is Chester talking about his most embarrassing experience on stage while Mike cracks up, about forty seconds in.

An extremely silly acoustic version of ‘Numb’. The stupid dancing! Sadly, there’s no full version online, but even this one-minute clip is beautiful.

If you’ve got a little more time, there’s Chester and Mike on Good Mythical Morning, twelve and a half minutes. This one is a little difficult for me to watch because it was so close to Chris Cornell’s death, but Chester and Mike sing a screaming rock song about cup noodles and it’s magnificent.

Thank you, Chester, for everything that you built with Mike, Joe, Brad, Phoenix, and Rob. I’ll forever be grateful that I was able to see you all live almost three years ago and got to experience firsthand the impact that your music will always have on fans and on people all over the world. Thank you for making us smile and laugh at moments from LPTVs or from interviews and for inspiring us with your voice and your talent. Thank you for sharing part of yourself through your music even though it must’ve been difficult but you still did it anyway because of how much you wanted to help others. Thank you to you and the rest of the guys for making this fan base such a wonderful thing to be a part of. I miss you so much already but I’m going to do my best to stay strong for you, for the guys, and for all of the lovely people I’ve been able to talk to because your music brought us together. There’s so much more I want to say, but I just don’t know how to express it other than with thank you for everything. The light you brought into this world will always be precious and you’ll always be in my heart. Rest in Peace, Chester. 💜

And if anyone needs someone to talk to, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me or to friends or family. If you need any help, please ask for it.

Dark times all around but there are still people out there who love you

Do not hurt yourself, do not hurt others, get help, talk to someone, anyone. Humanity has survived before and we can do it now if we all just support each other. My country and my people let me down and endangered my life but there’s nothing I or anyone else can do about that so let’s try to spread the love that is so clearly lacking.
