Chester Charles Bennington (March 20, 1976 – July 20, 2017) was an American singer, songwriter, musician, and actor. He was best known as the lead vocalist for Linkin Park. He was also lead vocalist for the bands Dead by Sunrise, Grey Daze, and Stone Temple Pilots. Bennington is widely regarded as one of the top rock musicians of the 2000s. Hit Parader magazine placed him at number 46 on their list of the '100 Metal Vocalists of All Time'.^[1]

Bennington first gained prominence as a vocalist following the release of Linkin Park's debut album, Hybrid Theory, in 2000, which became a commercial success. The album was certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America in 2005, making it the best-selling debut album of the decade, as well as one of the few albums ever to hit that many sales.^[2] Linkin Park's following studio albums, from Meteora (2003) to One More Light (2017), continued the band's success. Linkin Park has sold over 100 million records worldwide making them the best-selling band of the 21st century and one of the best-selling artists of all time.

Bennington formed his own band, Dead by Sunrise, as a side project in 2005. The band's debut album, Out of Ashes, was released on October 13, 2009. He became the lead singer of Stone Temple Pilots in 2013 to release the extended play record High Rise on October 8, 2013, via their own record label, Play Pen, but left in 2015 to focus solely on Linkin Park. He also appeared in cameo roles in several films, including Crank, Crank: High Voltage and Saw 3D.^[3]

On July 20, 2017, Bennington was found dead at his home in Palos Verdes Estates, California. His death was ruled a suicide by hanging.^[4]

Early life

Chester Charles Bennington was born on March 20, 1976, in Phoenix, Arizona. His mother was a nurse, while his father was a police detective who worked on child sexual abuse cases.^[5][6] Bennington took an interest in music at a young age, citing the bands Depeche Mode and Stone Temple Pilots as his earliest inspirations,^[7] and dreamed of becoming a member of Stone Temple Pilots, which he later achieved when he became their lead singer.^[8]

Bennington suffered sexual abuse from an older male friend when he was seven years old.^[9] He was afraid to ask for help because he did not want people to think he was gay or lying, and the abuse continued until he was 13 years old.^[10] Years later, he revealed the abuser's identity to his father, but chose not to pursue him after he realized the abuser was a victim himself.^[11]

Bennington's parents divorced when he was 11 years old. The abuse and his situation at home affected him so much that he felt the urge to kill people and run away.^[10] To comfort himself, he drew pictures and wrote poetry and songs.^[10] After the divorce, Bennington's father gained custody of him.^[6] Bennington started abusing alcohol, marijuana, opium, cocaine, meth, and LSD.^[7][11][6] He was physically bullied in high school. In an interview, he said that he was 'knocked around like a rag doll at school, for being skinny and looking different'.^[12]

At the age of 17, Bennington moved in with his mother. He was banned from leaving the house for a time when his mother discovered his drug activity.^[6] He worked at a Burger King before starting his career as a professional musician.^[7]

Career

Early acts

Bennington first began singing with a band called Sean Dowdell and His Friends? They released an eponymous three-track cassette in 1993. Later, Dowdell and Bennington moved on to form a new band, Grey Daze, a post-grunge band from Phoenix, Arizona. The band recorded three albums: Demo in 1993, Wake/Me in 1994, and ..no sun today in 1997. Bennington left Grey Daze in 1998, but struggled to find another band.^[13]

Linkin Park

Talinda Bennington Instagram

Bennington was frustrated and almost ready to quit his musical career altogether when Jeff Blue, the vice president of artists and repertoire at Zomba Music in Los Angeles, offered him an audition with the future members of Linkin Park.^[13] Bennington quit his day job at a digital services firm^[6] and took his family to California, where he had a successful audition with Linkin Park, who were then called Xero.^[13] He managed to record the song for his audition in a day, missing his own birthday celebration in the process. Bennington and Mike Shinoda, the band's other vocalist, made significant progress together, but failed to find a record deal.^[13] After facing numerous rejections, Blue, now a vice president of artists and repertoire at Warner Bros., intervened again to help the band sign with Warner Bros. Records.^[13]

On October 24, 2000, Linkin Park released their debut album, Hybrid Theory, through Warner Bros. Records. Bennington and Shinoda wrote the lyrics to Hybrid Theory based on some early material.^[5] Shinoda characterized the lyrics as interpretations of universal feelings, emotions, and experiences, and as 'everyday emotions you talk about and think about.'^[14][15] Bennington later described the songwriting experience to Rolling Stone magazine in early 2002, 'It's easy to fall into that thing – 'poor, poor me', that's where songs like 'Crawling' come from: I can't take myself. But that song is about taking responsibility for your actions. I don't say 'you' at any point. It's about how I'm the reason that I feel this way. There's something inside me that pulls me down.'^[5]

Bennington primarily served as Linkin Park's lead vocalist, but occasionally shared the role with Shinoda. All Music Guide described Bennington's vocals as 'higher-pitched' and 'emotional', in contrast to Shinoda's hip-hop-style delivery.^[7] Both members also worked together to write lyrics for the band's songs.^[16]

Dead by Sunrise

Bennington co-founded Dead by Sunrise, an electronic rock band from Los Angeles, California, with Orgy and Julien-K members Amir Derakh and Ryan Shuck in 2005.^[17][18] Dead by Sunrise made their live debut in May 2008, performing four songs at the 13th anniversary party for Club Tattoo in Tempe, Arizona.^[19]

The band released their debut album Out of Ashes on October 13, 2009.^[20]

Stone Temple Pilots

In February 2013, Stone Temple Pilots parted ways with long-time lead singer Scott Weiland. The band recruited Bennington to replace Weiland in May 2013. On May 18, 2013, Bennington took the stage at KROQ's Weenie Roast with the band. The setlist included original Stone Temple Pilots songs, as well as their first single with Bennington on vocals called 'Out of Time', which debuted on May 19 and was available for free download via their official website. It was later announced by Chester and the band in an exclusive KROQ interview that he was officially the new frontman of Stone Temple Pilots and discussed the possibility of a new album and tour. The song 'Out of Time' is featured on their EP High Rise, which was released on October 8, 2013.^[21]

Bennington reflected on joining Stone Temple Pilots, stating, 'Every band has its own kind of vibe. Stone Temple Pilots has this sexier, more classic rock feel to it. Linkin Park is a very modern, very tech-heavy type of band. I grew up listening to these guys. When this opportunity came up, it was just like a no-brainer.' Bennington stated in interviews that singing lead vocals in Stone Temple Pilots was his lifelong dream. He left the band on good terms due to his commitments with Linkin Park in 2015.^[8][22]

Personal life

Bennington had a child, Jaime (born May 12, 1996), from his relationship with Elka Brand.^[23] In 2006, he adopted Brand's other son, Isaiah^[23] (born November 8, 1997). He married his first wife, Samantha Marie Olit, on October 31, 1996.^[24] They had one child together, Draven Sebastian (born April 19, 2002).^[23] Bennington's relationship with his first wife declined during his early years with Linkin Park, and they divorced in 2005.^[25] In 2006, he married Talinda Ann Bentley, a former Playboy model with whom he had three children: Tyler Lee Bennington (born March 16, 2006) and twins Lilly and Lila (born November 6, 2011).^[26]

Chester and Talinda Bennington were harassed by a cyberstalker named Devon Townsend (not to be confused with Canadian musician Devin Townsend) for almost a year. Townsend was found guilty of tampering with the couple's email, as well as sending threatening messages, and was later sentenced to two years in prison.^[27]

Bennington struggled with drug and alcohol abuse. Eventually, after his bandmates held an intervention in 2006,^[28] Bennington was able to overcome his drug addiction; he would go on to denounce drug use in future interviews.^[29] In 2011, he said he had quit drinking, noting, 'I just don't want to be that person anymore.'^[30]

Bennington was a tattoo enthusiast.^[31] He had done work and promotions with Club Tattoo, a tattoo parlor in Tempe, Arizona. Club Tattoo is owned by Sean Dowdell, Bennington's friend since high school with whom he played in two bands.^[32][33] Bennington was a fan of the Phoenix Suns,^[34][35]Arizona Cardinals, Arizona Diamondbacks, and Arizona Coyotes.^[36]

In a January 2011 interview, in response to the 2011 Tucson shooting, Bennington said, 'There's a non-violent way to express yourself and get your point across – regardless of what you're saying or what your point is. In a free society, people have a right to believe whatever they want to believe. That's their business and they can speak their mind. But nobody, even in a free society, has the right to take another person's life. Ever. That's something that we really need to move beyond.'^[37]

Health and injuries

Bennington was plagued with poor health during the making of Meteora, and struggled to attend some of the album's recording sessions.^[38] In the summer of 2003, he began to suffer from extreme abdominal pain and gastrointestinal issues while filming the music video for 'Numb' in Prague. He was forced to return to the United States for surgery, and filmed the remainder of the music video in Los Angeles.^[39][40]

Bennington sustained a wrist injury in October 2007 while attempting to jump off a platform during a show in Melbourne at the Rod Laver Arena. Despite the injury, he continued to perform the entire show with a broken wrist, before heading to the emergency room. He received five stitches.^[41][42]

In 2011, Bennington fell ill again, and Linkin Park was forced to cancel three shows and reschedule two from the A Thousand Suns World Tour.^[43] Bennington injured his shoulder during the band's tour in Asia and was advised by doctors to have immediate surgery, cancelling their final show at Pensacola Beach, Florida, and ending their tour.^[44]

Bennington injured his ankle in January 2015 during a basketball game.^[45] He attempted to cope with the injury and perform with the aid of crutches and a knee scooter. Linkin Park later canceled the remainder of their tour to allow Bennington to undergo surgery and recover.^[46][47][48]

Death

Bennington was found dead at his home in Palos Verdes Estates, California; his housekeeper discovered his body around 9:00 a.m. PDT on July 20, 2017.^[49][50] His death was ruled a suicide by hanging. Mike Shinoda confirmed his death on Twitter, writing, 'Shocked and heartbroken, but it's true. An official statement will come out as soon as we have one'.^[51] On July 21, Brian Elias, the chief of operations for the office of the medical examiner-coroner, confirmed that a half-empty bottle of alcohol was found at the scene, but no other drugs were present.^[52] The band announced that they had canceled the North American leg of their One More Light Tour following Bennington's death and that tickets would be refunded.^[53]

Bennington's funeral was held at South Coast Botanic Garden in Palos Verdes, California, on July 29. In addition to his family members and close friends, many musicians who toured or played with Linkin Park were also in attendance. The service also included a full stage for musical tributes.^[54] Bennington was cremated.^[55]

On December 5, 2017, Billboard magazine wrote that Bennington's toxicology report showed 'a trace amount' of alcohol in the singer's system at the time of death.^[56]

Memorial and tributes

Bennington filmed an episode of Carpool Karaoke six days before his death. Bennington's family allowed the episode to be aired on October 12, 2017.^[57] On August 27, during the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards ceremony, Jared Leto received media attention for his tribute to Bennington and Chris Cornell.^[58] Some of his former bandmates from Dead by Sunrise and Grey Daze united to perform a tribute for Bennington during a concert on September 2 in Las Vegas.^[59] Linkin Park also hosted a public tribute for Bennington in Los Angeles on October 27, titled Linkin Park and Friends: Celebrate Life in Honor of Chester Bennington. The event featured the band's first performance following his death, along with performances from Blink-182, members of System of a Down, Korn, Avenged Sevenfold, Bring Me the Horizon and Yellowcard, and the singer Kiiara, among others.^[60][61][62]

Rapper Jay-Z paid tribute to Bennington on several occasions by performing 'Numb/Encore' live. Jay-Z and Bennington (with Linkin Park) collaborated on the song. Coldplay's Chris Martin paid tribute to Bennington during the band's North American tour concert at MetLife Stadium, playing an acoustic version of 'Crawling' on piano.^[63] Several other artists, including Ryan Key – formerly of Yellowcard –, rapper Machine Gun Kelly, Imagine Dragons and Godsmack, also either covered Linkin Park songs (usually 'Crawling') or played their own songs during concerts as tribute to Bennington in the days and months following his death. During the 60th Annual Grammy Awards's annual in memoriam tribute, rapper Logic performed the song '1-800-273-8255' live alongside Alessia Cara and Khalid as a tribute to both Cornell and Bennington. The song's title is the phone number of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.^[64]

Connections to Chris Cornell's death

Bennington's death occurred on what would have been Chris Cornell's 53rd birthday.^[65] Cornell was a close friend of Bennington. Cornell's death was also ruled as suicide, by hanging, two months prior.^[65] Bennington commented on Cornell's death on Instagram by stating, 'I can't imagine a world without you in it.'^[65] Shinoda noted that Bennington was very emotional when the band performed 'One More Light' in his honor on Jimmy Kimmel Live!,^[66] where he could not finish singing the song and started getting choked up during both the rehearsal and at the live performance setting.^[67] The band was due to record a live performance of their single 'Heavy' on the show, but decided instead to play 'One More Light' after hearing the news about Cornell's death because the song is about the loss of a friend.^[67] Bennington sang Leonard Cohen's song 'Hallelujah' at Cornell's funeral.^[65] He was also the godfather of Cornell's son Christopher.^[65]

Musical style and influences

Bennington possessed a three octave tenor vocal range, beginning at the low bass G (G2), and reaching its peak at the tenor G (G5). His vocals showed tremendous durability for the entirety of his career.^[68] Altheapi of Rolling Stone wrote: 'Bennington's voice embodied the anguish and wide-ranging emotions of the lyrics, from capturing life's vulnerable moments to the fury and catharsis found in his belted screams, which he would often move between at the turn of a dime.'^[69]

Talking about his favorite bands and influences, Bennington mentioned Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains, Arcade Fire, Circle Jerks, Descendents, Deftones, Jane's Addiction, Metallica, Ministry, Minor Threat, Misfits, The Naked and Famous, Nine Inch Nails, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Refused, Skinny Puppy, Soundgarden, and A Tribe Called Quest.^[70][71] Bennington also considered himself as 'a huge Madonna fan', crediting her for making him grow up wanting to be a musician.^[72]

Legacy

Several publications have commented on the music legacy Bennington left with the bands and projects he worked in.^[73][74] While describing the success of Bennington and Linkin Park, Allmusic's Andrew Leahey said, 'Although rooted in alternative metal, Linkin Park became one of the most successful acts of the 2000s by welcoming elements of hip-hop, modern rock, and atmospheric electronica into their music .. focusing as much on the vocal interplay between singer Chester Bennington and rapper Mike Shinoda'.^[75] Writing for Billboard, Dan Weiss stated that Bennington 'turned nu-metal universal,' as he was 'clearly an important conduit for his far-ranging audience'.^[76]

The New York Times'Jon Caramanica commented that Bennington's ability to 'pair serrated rawness with sleek melody' separated him from other contemporary singers, and also from the artists he was influenced by. Caramanica noted, 'He was an emo sympathizer in a time when heavy metal was still setting the agenda for mainstream hard rock, and a hip-hop enthusiast who found ways to make hip-hop-informed music that benefited from his very un-hip-hop skill set'. As Bennington acquired influences from industrial and hardcore punk acts, the journalist believed this was the factor that made Linkin Park survive the 'rise and precipitous fall of the rap-rock era', calling the musician 'a rock music polymath'.^[77] Mikael Wood of the Los Angeles Times argued, 'Perhaps more than Linkin Park's influential sound, Bennington's real artistic legacy will be the message he put across – the reassurance he offered from the dark'.^[78]

BBC's Steve Holden called Bennington the 'voice of a generation', saying his voice was arguably Linkin Park's greatest asset.^[79] Jonathan McAloon of The Daily Telegraph commented, 'Bennington’s death will have an impact on many millennials because his voice was the sound of their millennium'.^[80] While talking about Linkin Park's popularity, Corey Apar, of AllMusic, commented, 'Bennington's oft-tortured vocals became one of the most distinctive in the alternative rock scene'.^[81] Writing for The Guardian, Ben Beaumont-Thomas noted 'Bennington’s decision to sing clearly and openly was, therefore, more radical than he is given credit for, and indeed more socially valuable'. The journalist continued to discuss Bennington's impact, commenting,

James Hingle echoed this sentiment, writing for Kerrang! he said that Bennington 'was one of the most honest vocalists out there when it came to his mental health'.^[83] In the same topic, William Goodman from Billboard said Bennington and fellow musicians Chris Cornell and Scott Weiland 'helped define a generation of the hard rock sound, who were tied together artistically and personally'.^[84]

The Straits Times' music correspondent Eddino Abdul Hadi stated Bennington was an inspiration to many artists in the Singapore music scene.^[85] Calum Slingerland, editor of the Canadian periodical Exclaim!, expressed, '[H]is influence has been felt in the worlds of rock, metal, rap, and beyond'.^[86]

After Bennington's death, his wife Talinda Bennington launched a campaign called 320 Changes Direction in honor of her husband to help break the stigma surrounding mental health.
