I am sorry to hear this. I had a view of Linkin Park which changed over the years. Way back when, I figured they were an also-ran because I thought I knew everything. But they persisted.
I figured Bennington had screamed just-so to be lucky enough to nail one good hit, because anything that wasn't Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, or Pearl Jam was poser material. I'd walk around humming the chorus of In the End, but only because my brain worked on irony (minus self-awareness). Yet, the guy kept singing, against what I thought were all odds, because damn, vocal chords have a limit, don't they?
Over time, I dropped some of my hang-ups, and maybe the band matured. I started digging their live stuff on YouTube, and noted the comradery between the grunge bands and Linkin Park. Bennington, I also noted, could still belt it out - not kinda-like he used to, but in many subjective ways, better than he used to.

That article notes the parallels with Chris Cornell. The guy sang at Cornell's funeral, for crying out-loud.
Six kids..
Damn.
A quantum state of signature may or may not be here... you just ruined it.
