Bennington’s Linkin Park bandmates — Mike Shinoda, Joe Hahn, Dave Farrell, Rob Bourdon, and Brad Delson — also shared a tribute of their own on social media.
In May, the frontman’s widow Talina Bennington opened up about thelate singer’s final days, sharing that she thought her husband had reached a “good place” following years ofstruggling with substance abuse and depression.
“We just thought he was OK,” she said on an episode of theABC News podcast “Life After Suicide.” “I can’t emphasize enough. If you knew Chester, you would know that he was in a good place, in such a good place.”

Talinda, who has launched a mental health awareness organization,320 Changes Direction, went on to share that although she still finds it “too painful” to listen to her late love’s songs, Linkin Park fans have helped her through the early stages of grief.
In addition to retweeting their messages, she often adds the hashtag #MakeChesterProud, in hopes that their happy memories and positivity will spread.
