    “I loved LP since childhood. I really wanted to hear them live, now it's unrealistic. Appreciate every moment, nothing lasts forever, ”writes another fan.

    The last concert of the group with the participation of Bennington was held on July 6 in Birmingham, UK. According to those who attended the speech, there were no signs of a tragedy.

    “Everything that is more or less old,” every word was picked up, every part of Shinoda even — all these recitatives. Everyone loves them very, very much. They were met very warmly, all their songs went with a bang. Most of their songs were from the old repertoire. And there was another touching moment when Chester started talking about the terrorist attack (in Manchester. — RT), how it all happened, how sorry he is for people. And he sang several songs right in the arms of people, going straight to the fans themselves, ”Russian Nadezhda, who attended the concert, told RT.

    In turn, Lumen vocalist Rustem Bulatov, in an RT commentary, called Bennington's death a serious blow to fans. “This is a serious blow for the fans (I consider myself one of them, I was always waiting for new albums). It is a pity that this creator is no longer in the world. The load that fell on him was so heavy that he could not cope. Chester is survived by six children. This is a great human tragedy,” said Bulatov.

    In his opinion, the band and Chester Bennington himself changed rock music.

    “Very strongly influenced the whole rock with his work. A vivid example of how music of different styles and directions can be mixed into something interesting. This was their hallmark - the lines between hip-hop, rock and electronic music were blurred, ”he told RT.

    He is echoed by the editor-in-chief of the Russian edition of Rolling Stone, Alexander Kondukov, who noted that Linkin Park with Bennington has reached the level of another American rock band, Guns N’ Roses.

    “Linkin Park is one of the last super-successful rock bands that could sell 27 million albums. And this is the level of Guns N' Roses - global legendary artists who are included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I think that Linkin Park will also enter there soon, because they made a very big artistic contribution, ”said Kondukov.

    Note that the video for the song Talking To Myself, posted on the day of the soloist's death, collected more than 8 million views in less than a day.

    According to the editor-in-chief of Rolling Stone, one could do anything to the music of the LP, including sadness: “Bennington is an amazingly talented vocalist who could sing in various tones: now in a soft tenor, and then make it angrier, easily turning into a scream, growl. And at the same time, in his manner it is clear that he himself has some kind of deeply hidden pain. And he learned to manage it all perfectly. An LP that was good in rock and pop, it added melody."

    Recall that the singer was found dead in his own house in the suburbs of Palos Verdes in California just a few hours before the scheduled photo shoot. He was 41 years old and had six children from two marriages.

Chester, I hope you're at peace now, man. My thoughts are with your family. I'll be bobbing my head to your music until my head falls off.
