It really is tragic to see so much death and personal hardship coming to those who many of us believe have been given a 'golden ticket'. Maybe it's not what it seems...maybe it is better to keep a low profile, keep your head down and show gratitude for what you have than to 'put yourself out there' - regardless of the benefits. Life is balance, so there will always be a price to pay for wild success. And to think that Bennington was so close to Chris Cornell, died the same way as Chris did (supposedly) and did so on Chris's birthday...really magnifies the loss. Anyway, may they find the peace in eternal rest they obviously found elusive in life. Rest in peace, Chester Bennington...you were far too young to go so early.
