Definetly Chester Bennington. Linking park inspired me to be a muscisian, Chester inspired me to become a singer. His passing was really hard on me. I really gave up on linking park after the minutes to midnight album, since I see it as the last album where they were honest to their roots and still not too experimental. But after many years I was talking to my wife, and we agree that next time they played in our country, we would see them nomatter what. I shit you not, the next day we saw on the news he was dead. It was almost like we knew it was about time to go watch a show since they wouldn't be around for long. Anyways, I have massive respect for Chester as a guy who delt with my own mental sickness and also have had thoughts of sucide and so on. Chester and linkin park helped me through a lot of tough times. I wish his family all the best.
