Chester Bennington’s wife, Talinda Bennington, published a heartbreaking video, recorded hours before the Linkin Park singer took his own life.
Chester Bennington attempted his own life in 2017. The lead singer of the band Linkin Park was fighting a difficult battle with depression. His wife, Linda Bennington, shared a video taken hours before his death. The images are heartbreaking.
The video shows Chester with his children and friends playing a game called “Beanboozled”. The game consists of taking a candy that you don’t know if the flavor will be good or bad.
Chester picks up one of the jelly beans, tastes it, and instantly spits it out. “I’ll get rotten eggs or something that stinks,” he said before eating.
“This is what depression looked like to us just 36 hours before his death. He loved us SO MUCH and we loved him,” wrote Talinda in the post on X, formerly Twitter.
Talinda showed support for Linkin Park’s new lineup, with Emily Armstrong as the new vocalist.
