'It still feels like you are close by': Linkin Park pay tribute to Chester Bennington on anniversary of his death

'It has been a year since your passing – a surreal rotation of grief, heartbreak, refusal and recognition', Linkin Park writes in memoriam
UPDATED JUL 20, 2018

Friday (July 20) marks the anniversary of the tragic passing of Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington, who took his own life at the age of 41 after succumbing to a battle with depression. To mark the occasion, Linkin Park paid a special online tribute to their late friend and bandmate.

"To our brother Chester, It has been a year since your passing—a surreal rotation of grief, heartbreak, refusal, and recognition. And yet it still feels like you are close by, surrounding us with your memory and your light," read a message posted on Linkin Park's Instagram page, on behalf of band members Mike Shinoda, Joe Hahn, Dave Farrell, Rob Bourdon and Brad Delson, alongside a photo of Chester in concert.

"Your one-of-a-kind spirit has authored an indelible imprint on our hearts—our jokes, our joy, and our tenderness," the message continued. "Eternally grateful for the love, life, and creative passion you shared with us and the world. We miss you more than words can express."
