Twitter in tears after Chester Bennington's untimely death

From Meesha Shafi to Avril Lavigne everyone shared their thoughts on Linkin Park singer's demise

Linkin Park lead vocalist Chester Bennington, who overcame a troubled childhood to top the charts with an angry but melodic brand of metal, was found dead Thursday in what is being reported as suicide. He was 41.

His death also came on the birthday of fellow rockstar and close friend Chris Cornell, who committed suicide in May.



Soon after the news of his death broke the internet, tributes started pouring in for the musician from across the world.

Bennington's band-mate and LP's lead songwriter expressed his feelings on Twitter.

Shocked and heartbroken, but it's true. An official statement will come out as soon as we have one.
