Linkin Park was our nostalgic childhood hits that we would listen at home after a tiring schedule in highschool, and was a definite choice of music to hit the motivation button and be rejuvenated while doing our homework or workouts. To lose the frontman of Linkin Park is such a tremendous lost for hardcore fans out there since his amazing vocals in music has accompanied us through our teenage years. It comes as a no surprise as the amazing hard screaming vocalist has been through an infinite number of hardships but for now let us mourn the lost of an extraordinary talented artist that has contributed so much remembrance during our younger days. RIP and farewell, brother Chester, you will always be in our hearts.
