Jakarta - Kabar duka itu begitu mengagetkan insan musik dunia. Chester Bennington, vokalis Linkin Park ditemukan meninggal dunia akibat gantung diri di kediamannya di Palos Verdes pada Kamis, 20 Juli 2017 waktu setempat. Warta itu cukup mengagetkan lantaran sehari sebelumnya, dia baru saja kembali dari Arizona, berlibur bersama istrinya, Talinda Ann Bentley. Saat Chester kembali ke Los Angeles, Talinda memilih tetap di Arizona. Muncul dugaan bahwa Chester bunuh diri karena depresi. Dalam sebuah wawancara dengan media usai merilis album 'One More Light' Mei lalu, ia menyebut album ini berhasil membantunya keluar dari 'saat-saat gelap'. Chester mengaku proses pembuatan album tersebut membantunya terus berjuang menghadapi gangguan kejiwaan yang dialaminya. Proses tersebut juga membantunya fokus soal hal yang terpenting dalam hidupnya."Aku sampai pada titik hidupku saat aku merasa, 'Aku bisa saja menyerah dan mati saja atau berjuang untuk apa yang kuinginkan.' Dan aku memilih untuk terus berjuang. Aku ingin punya hubungan yang baik. Aku ingin mencintai orang-orang di hidupku. Aku ingin menikmati pekerjaanku. Aku ingin menikmati saat-saat menjadi ayah, dan punya teman, dan hanya bangun di pagi hari saja. Karena itulah arti perjuangan bagiku," kata Chester. Akibat depresi Chester Bennington kecanduan obat-obatan dia depresi? Jill Harkavy-Friedman dari American Foundation for Suicide Prevention mengatakan menjadi selebriti kadang tampak menyenangkan. Mereka terkenal, punya banyak uang dan sepertinya bisa membeli barang mewah apapun. Namun nyatanya, mereka mungkin saja memiliki masalah dan memendamnya hingga menjadi depresi dan ingin bunuh diri. "Seringnya selebriti yang hidup mewah dianggap tidak punya masalah kejiwaan seperti depresi atau cemas. Padahal masalah mental bisa memengaruhi siapa saja tanpa memandang kekayaan. Bisa saja selebriti hidup mewah tapi mereka depresi hingga kecanduan obat-obatan atau alkohol," tutur Friedman seperti dikutip dari Newsweek. Dalam sebuah artikel berjudul, 'Why Smartter People are more likely be mentally ill' dalam situs pada 2014, disebutkan bahwa banyak masyarakat menghubungkan kecerdasan, kreatifitas dengan penyakit kejiwaan. Foto Chester Bennington bersama Mike Shinoda Gettyimages Tak kurang 2,5 persen dari populasi penduduk Amerika Serikat terkena gangguan bipolar. Banyak orang-orang hebat terserang penyakit tersebut seperti Vincent Van Gogh, Buzz Aldrin, Emily Dickinson, Ernest Hemingway, dan Jackson Pollock. Chester Bennington adalah salah satu dari orang tenar yang berprestasi. Semasa hidupnya, bersama bandnya Linkin Park, dia menghasilkan banyak karya gemilang. Berdiri pada 1996, band ini pernah 2 kali meraih Grammy Awards. Pada 2002, mereka menang di kategori Best Hard Rock Performance untuk 'Crawling'. Linkin Park juga memenangkan Best Rap/Sung Collaboration untuk 'Numb / Encore'. Sayang Chester harus berjuang melawan kecanduan obat-obatan terlarang. Dikutip dari NME, vokalis kelahiran Phoenix, Arizona, pada 20 Maret 1976 itu mengkonsumsi alkohal dan obat-obatan terlarang akibat trauma masa kecil. Pada usia 7-13 tahun, dia menjadi korban kekerasan dan pelecehan seksual dari lelaki yang lebih tua. Di sekolah, dia jadi korban bullying. Sejak itulah Chester mulai mengenal opium, amphetamine dan kokain untuk pelarian. Pengalaman traumatis masa kecil, tulis akan mempengaruhi sensitivitas emosional ketika dewasa. Secara intelektual mereka lebih unggul tapi secara sosial mereka terbelakang. Chester adalah salah satu dari orang cerdas yang harus mengakhiri hidupnya dengan cara gantung diri. Belum terkonfirmasi bahwa dia mengakhiri hidupnya dengan cara tragis akibat tak bahagia. Namun Ernest Hemingway pernah menulis dalam bukunya yang berjudul 'The Garden of Eden', "Kebahagiaan pada orang cerdas adalah hal paling langka yang saya tahu." erd/kmb

Los Angeles - Chester Bennington, the lead vocalist of Linkin Park, was found dead on Thursday, July 20, of an apparent suicide. The California alt-rock band was due to embark on a tour within a 41, known for his powerful, belting vocals, died at his Palos Verdes home near Los Angeles, the Los Angeles County Coroner's office Brian Elias said the death was being handled as an apparent suicide, and celebrity website TMZ, citing law enforcement sources, said Bennington had hung himself while alone at the house when his family was out of town."Shocked and heartbroken, but it's true. An official statement will come out as soon as we have one," tweeted Linkin Park vocalist Mike had a history of alcohol and drug abuse. He spoke openly in the past about his struggles to overcome his demons when Linkin Park first found fame in 2000 with their best-selling debut album "Hybrid Theory" and went on to become one of the most popular alt-rock bands of their band's latest album, "One More Light," was released in May, and Linkin Park had been touring South America and Europe until two weeks Bennington's death came a week before the band was due to kick off the leg of the tour on July 27 in Mansfield, Massachusetts. It also came the same day as the release of Linkin Park's music video "Talking to Myself.""This BREAKS OUR HEART. Suicide is the devil on earth walking amongst us," tweeted band One rock singer Tyson Ritter, frontman of All-American Rejects, said on Twitter that Bennington was "another gifted voice silenced to the spirit in the sky-forever alive in song."Bennington, who was twice married and had six children, was a close friend of Soundgarden front man Chris Cornell, who committed suicide in Detroit in noted on Thursday that Bennington had apparently taken his own life on what would have been Cornell's 53rd birthday."Just when I thought my heart couldn't break any more," Cornell's wife Vicky tweeted on Thursday on hearing of Chester Bennington's Park's debut album "Hybrid Theory" included hits such as "In the End," "One Step Closer" and "Crawling," which won a Grammy award in 2002 for best hard rock performance. The band experimented with rock, metal and rap, most notably collaborating with Jay-Z in 2004 on the "Collision Course" album. The album, a mash-up of the rapper's hits with Linkin Park songs, included "Numb/Encore," which won a Grammy award in 2006 for best rap/sung band has sold more than 70 million albums

Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images Modern rock music lost one of its most talented vocalists on July 20, 2017, when Linkin Park's Chester Bennington was found dead at his Palos Verdes, California, home from an apparent suicide. Frequently teaming up on lead vocals with bandmate Mike Shinoda, Bennington powered many of the biggest rock hits of the 2000s, including, but definitely not limited to "Crawling," "In the End," and "Numb." Aside from his work with Linkin Park, the musician also fronted Stone Temple Pilots for a few years after the band fired longtime lead singer Scott Weiland in 2013. Following his two-year stint with STP, Bennington shifted his focus back to Linkin Park as he and his bandmates worked on the album that would become "One More Light." Released on May 19, 2017, "One More Light" was a notable diversion for the band as they eschewed most of their rock, metal, and rap influences and released something that outlets such as NME described as more of a pop album than anything else. NME was also one of the many publications that gave the album harsh reviews, calling the record a "contrived" attempt to keep up with younger, more contemporary indie-pop bands. Little more than two months after "One More Life" arrived, Chester Bennington was dead at just 41 years of age. If you or anyone you know is having suicidal thoughts, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK 8255. Bennington's widow said she missed the warning signs Frazer Harrison/Getty Images Chester Bennington had dealt with depression for huge chunks of his life — this was evident in the lyrics of many Linkin Park songs, and as his widow, Talinda Bennington, recalled in an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper, his frequent feelings of hopelessness and isolation and unexplained changes in behavior had become "part of [their] daily life" as a family. "Sometimes, some signs were there more than others," she continued. "Sometimes, they weren't there at all." Talinda went on to explain that her husband was seemingly "at his best" on the night before his death. "We were on a family vacation, and he decided to go back home to do a television commercial," she added. "This was not a time where we or any of our family suspected this to happen, which is terrifying. ... We thought everything was OK." Looking back on why she felt she missed the warning signs in her husband, Talinda Bennington told Cooper that she "could not relate" to how Chester was processing his depression, given that she had never personally suffered from the condition. She stressed, however, that Chester's death pushed her to educate herself on the reasons why people suffer from depression and how their loved ones can help them through the tough times. "If we can find good coping mechanisms, if we have people we trust that we can talk to, that helps us to make better choices for ourselves," she related. "And my husband didn't have that in a lot of situations." Links to Chris Cornell and his earlier death by suicide Buda Mendes/Getty Images In the days that followed Chester Bennington's death, many fans had noticed that his passing had some links to another iconic vocalist who recently died by suicide — Soundgarden/Temple of the Dog/Audioslave frontman Chris Cornell. As pointed out by The Washington Post, Bennington died on what was supposed to be Cornell's 53rd birthday, almost exactly two months after the grunge legend died following a Soundgarden concert in Detroit. The Wrap also noted that both frontmen used the same method when they took their own lives. Although their bands played different sub-genres of rock music and the two singers were more than a decade apart in age, Bennington and Cornell became fast friends after Cornell, then performing as a solo artist, opened for Linkin Park during their tour of Australia in 2007. Both men would frequently team up on stage while on tour, with Cornell doing guest vocals on Linkin Park's "Crawling" and Bennington duetting with Cornell when the latter would cover Temple of the Dog's anthemic "Hunger Strike." Following Cornell's death in May 2017, Bennington took to social media and shared a moving tribute to his friend, then performed a version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" at his funeral service. Bennington was also upset by the negative reviews Linkin Park's last album had gotten Rich Fury/Getty Images To be perfectly clear, no one has directly claimed that these were among the driving factors behind Chester Bennington's death. However, a number of people close to the frontman have opened up about how Chris Cornell's death devastated him. This was particularly evident during a promotional show where Linkin Park dedicated the song "One More Light" to Cornell's memory. "When we were doing a sound check Chester couldn't even make it through the song, he was getting halfway through and getting choked up," recalled Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda in an interview with via Variety. "And even when we did play the whole song, and it was live on TV, or taped for film for TV, he kind of just stopped like towards the end like he missed the last couple lines, just couldn't finish the song," In addition, the negative reviews "One More Light" received following its release were reportedly another reason why the singer was unhappy in the lead-up to his death. Sean Dowdell, who played drums for Bennington's pre-Linkin Park band Grey Daze, told Kaaos TV via Blabbermouth, recalled that his former bandmate was "really bothered" by the subpar reception "One More Light" got from a number of fans and publications. Dowdell remembered how Bennington would take to Twitter and fire back at users who had bad things to say about the album, and how he'd reassure him that the music was "good" and he had nothing to worry about. He reportedly threatened or attempted suicide multiple times, typically while intoxicated Kevin Mazur/Getty Images According to sources familiar with the situation who spoke to TMZ, Chester Bennington allegedly attempted suicide eight months before his death, though he had a "change of heart" and chose not to go through with it. This detail was left off the singer's autopsy report, supposedly because Talinda Bennington's lawyer cited "marital privilege" as the reason why such information should be redacted. The report also mentioned that the Linkin Park frontman was known to have "suicidal ideations after consuming alcohol," and that in 2006, while especially intoxicated, he threatened to take his own life before leaving home with a gun. Bennington, whose substance abuse issues have been well-documented, was reportedly telling friends a month before his death that he had been sober for half a year. However, his autopsy and toxicology results revealed that he had tested "presumptive positive" for MDMA ecstasy on one test, but not on two others. He also had a trace amount of alcohol in his system at the time of his death, and authorities found a bottle of Ambien, an empty bottle of Stella Artois beer, and a partially consumed pint glass of Corona on his dresser.

After two years on the road with Guns N’ Roses, Slash is saddling up for a new release with his band The Conspirators. He began working on “Living The Dream,” his third album with the group, in 2015 but once he began talking to GNR frontman Axl Rose about a possible return to the stage, it became clear there was unfinished business for the two of them to tend to. The Guns tour was, according to Slash, way more joyous than expected. But he declines to say much more than that. “It’s a very harmonious thing we have going on and there’s nothing to explain,” Slash tells Variety. “We spent the last two years not talking to anybody and really enjoyed it.” New GNR music, as Slash has said in previous interviews, is very much a possibility. But perhaps set to see the light even sooner, a never-before-heard collaboration between the guitarist and late Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington. After having recently discovered the recording, intended for Slash’s first album and later recorded with late Motorhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister, he sent it along to Bennington’s family taking note of the cautionary lyrics “I went to see the doctor / He said you’re pretty sick You got some real bad habits / You’d better stop right quick.”Bennington committed suicide on July 20, 2017. Sober and content with his life today, a conversation with Slash takes wide turns into his thoughts on fame and reflections on the comeback tour. When did it become real that GNR was alive again? Slash Rehearsing some of those songs I hadn’t played in a long time. But the most surreal moment was getting to soundcheck at the Troubadour. That was a trip because I have such a history with the Troubadour, even from before Guns when I was a kid. Then it was where my first gig with Axl and Steven [Adler] was as Hollywood Rose; and the first Guns’ gigs; and getting signed based off of one of those performances. Then seeing us all there, but bringing in three trucks full of gear, that was a trip. But once we got into the Coachella set, it was really weird because it didn’t feel reminiscent of anything from the past. Even though I’ve known these guys for 35 years, and we’re playing the same songs like “Welcome To The Jungle,” it all seemed very fresh and new. I can’t really explain the dichotomy of that one. Band friction and rock music are practically synonymous. Take the public squabbles of Aerosmith, who you’re close with. Are there people you looked to as examples in how to navigate this terrain? I’ve been friends with the Aerosmith guys since we played with them back in 1988. I’ve talked to Joe [Perry] on a regular basis pretty much the entire time. And I talk to Steven [Tyler] and Brad [Whitford] on occasion, and Joey [Kramer]. So I’ve been cognizant of everything those guys have been through and it’s very uniquely their own. But one thing I’m really proud of the Aerosmith guys, they managed to hold the band together. As a fan, and someone who has a perspective because I’m in a band too, the fact they can go and get their jollies doing something else, but keep the band intact, it makes a lot of people feel secure. … So, in our situation, it’s nice to have the band and be able to do something on the side and have that thing intact. I don’t see any reason why we would ever get into disbanding it. Keith Richards was outspoken in his conviction that you belong with Guns. As a guitarist, how strange is it to think back as a kid and imagine one day Keith Richards would care about your participation in a band? I think he was the main guy who seemed to always have that rule in his head [where] you have to keep the band together, no matter what anybody else did, even himself. That was something he felt strongly about. It was so ingrained in his DNA that he managed to do it. So I admire that because I like to feel I was the same guy. No matter hell or high water, you keep it together. But there was a point with Guns where there was so much outside influence that I just couldn’t see around it. I couldn’t see how you went about fixing it. A lot of these people were so meshed in our reality, almost as part of the group. And it was just insurmountable. As you get older, do you find yourself worrying or caring less about what others think? That’s a big part of it now, there isn’t that. As you see so many artists who didn’t make it to the other side, does it give you a greater appreciation for making it? I have to appreciate, just for myself personally, being able to f—ing get up and do those gigs every single night. Because I would bet my bottom dollar if I was still carrying the same habit I had 12 years ago, there’s no way I could cope with it. It would be too physically and mentally difficult. There’s something to be said for a sense of clarity. It’s funny cause dope is such an insidious thing. I was thinking about bands from the 70s cause I grew up around a lot of that craziness, and I didn’t know it at the time, but I looked back on it and said, “F—ing every single massive argument between artists was 90 percent of the time fueled by coke.” Taking the cocaine out of the equation, how many less rock n’ roll stories there would have been? But speaking of Chester [Bennington], and I forgot all about this until just recently, when I was doing my first solo record, I worked with a lot of different people, some of whom, for whatever reason, didn’t end up on the record. One was with Chester. We did a song and Linkin Park at the time didn’t allow it to happen, so I did it with Lemmy [Kilmister]. The guy who engineered my demos sent it to me and I sent it to Chester’s family. But it was a trip cause the song [called “Doctor Alibi”] really speaks to his state of mind. Will the song possibly be released? His family has got it so it would be totally up to them. It was really good. He was awesome. It would be fine with me if they wanted to [release] it. Musically it’s basically the same as the Lemmy song, but the lyrics are really poignant.
