Damn...

Edit: Linkin Park's official statement

Talking with you about the years ahead together, your excitement was infectious. Your absence leaves a void that can never be filled—a boisterous, funny, ambitious, creative, kind, generous voice in the room is missing. We’re trying to remind ourselves that the demons who took you away from us were always part of the deal. After all, it was the way you sang about those demons that made everyone fall in love with you in the first place. You fearlessly put them on display, and in doing so, brought us together and taught us to be more human. You had the biggest heart, and managed to wear it on your sleeve.

When people who struggle with depression or other mental illness show "mood improvement" it can be sign that they are gonna kill themselves. As they already made their mind up and are "at peace" with their life.

Which is contradictory and lead to "but they looked better as of late" reactions.

Not only that, but today would have been Cornell's 53rd birthday, and the two were close friends as well...

Nope as Corgi said, suicide by hanging, he seemed happy with his wife and 2 kids, and something "he normally wouldn't do".

George Michael died of a bad health.

Goddamn, I can't believe it. I'm so sad that awesome singers like him or Kurt Cobain just goes like that. Why though? Because of his addictions maybe? I know addictions are really bad and not easy to get off even with help. But committing suicide when you have something to hold on like your wife and children? I don't know.
Rest in peace, Chester.

I'll wait an official source, before spreading the news.
But if it's true, it's a huge loss for the group, his voice was really impressive, and won't be so easily replaced... (if replaced at all in the heart of fans)

Who knows who's life he might have helped with his music, even if it was just 1 or 2. How many lifes did you have a positive impact on?

Why the constant negative attention seeking?

Because people care about people who they know and/or like. Of course noone can really care for thousands of people they never met, but likely having no more albums of a band is quite important for fans. Also attention to mental problems which is important for each and every person living with mental problems or disorders.

I don't care about people I don't know personally, but many people get attached to artists/celebrities/whoever they are fans of, so I guess it might be sad moment for them.
