    Just saw that there, again, not a fan but nobody wants to see that. Saw them support Metallica at the RDS in the St Anger tour, the crowd was pretty hostile towards them and stuff was being thrown at the stage. He had his head down and caught a packed of sweets that were thrown at him ninja-style, it was pretty impressive!

    Not a fan myself but still heartbreaking to read none the less. Hurts to see someone so broken by their demons that they feel this is the only release. Also feel for his poor family, friends and band mates.

    Is TMZ reliable?

    Would like to think it could be one of those horrible hoaxes :(

    I've read about 5 different articles, one RTE.ie - so I'd say it's unfortunately true :(

    Aye, saw that there. Fuck sake.

    Haven't listened to them in ages, but loved them as a teenager. Hybrid theory was one of the my first introductions to metal. The same for a lot of people my age I'd say.

    RIP Chester.

    On the Reddit thread people were saying that him and Chris were close. It might have had something to do with it.

    6 kids as well. Very sad.

    I've always said that their gig at the RDS was the best I had been at, until I'd seen GnR in May. I still listen to Hybrid Theory and Meteora regularly.

    Very sad to learn he was so depressed and that a lot of his lyrics where so true to his own personal struggles.

    A lot of people in their late 20's early 30's will have a twinge of nostalgia today as his voice will have resonated with many back in the early 2000's at the height of their fame.

    RIP.

    9 years since last saw them, they may have been abysmal but the Hybrid Theory songs were always good!

    Thinking also will probably never see any incarnation of Stone Temple Pilots in any incarnation now!

    Hybrid Theory helped me get into rock music and loved a few of the follow-ups. Seen them in Dublin twice and only a couple of weeks ago at Rock Werchter! Crazy news and pretty gutted. RIP.

    That one came out of left field, horrible to see and you've got to feel for the family. Grew out of them in a big way after about two years but I still remembering getting digital as a 13/14 year old and being a bit mindblown by the below on Kerrang while the charts over here were rammed with Spice Girls, NSync, Britney Spears, Christina Augilera, that "I'm Blue dabadeedabashutup" song and so on and so on.
