Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington died Thursday (June 20) at age 41, just days before his band was about to go on tour.
Shortly after word began to spread, Bennington's Link Park bandmate Mike Shinoda took to Twitter to confirm the news, writing, "shocked and heartbroken, but it's true. An official statement will come out as soon as we have one."
On Thursday afternoon, WBR's current chairman/CEO Cameron Strang released a statement to Billboard mourning Bennington's loss.
