CAIRO – 31 July 2017: Chester Bennington, the late lead singer of Linkin Park, was laid to rest Saturday, July 29, 2017 in California, a week after his alleged suicide. The funeral was kept private, with only 200 of his friends and family in attendance, according to TMZ.

Chester died at the age of 41, leaving behind a wife and six children. His wife, Talinda Bennington, is vocal about her loss on Twitter.

She said, “One week ago today, I lost my soulmate and my children lost their hero-their Daddy.”

“We had a fairytale life and now it has turned into some sick Shakespearean tragedy.”

“How do I move on? How do I pick up my shattered soul?”

“The only answer I know is to raise our babies with every ounce of love I have left.”
