Remembering Chester Bennington Part 1 - a podcast by Curiouscast

When the news first came down on the afternoon of Thursday, July 20, 2017, maybe your reaction was the same as me… “another celebrity death hoax…it’s gotta be because this doesn’t make sense”…but it as the minutes ticked by, it was soon obvious that it wasn’t a hoax…but it still didn’t make sense…

By the end of the day, everything was confirmed…Chester Bennington, vocalist with Linkin Park, was not only dead, but dead by his own hand…what?...This guy was the frontman for a band that has sold somewhere around 100 million records...he was drafted in to sing for Stone Temple Pilots for a couple of years…he having fun with a couple of side projects…he dabbled in acting…and he had a loving family with six—six—kids…

What happened?...and even though the news came during a long string of musician deaths, this one was one of the most shocking…totally unexpected…Let’s see if we can’t sort out what we can…and as we do, we’ll remember Chester Bennington…this is part 1…
