Another tribute came from Stormzy, who collaborated with Linkin Park on their 2017 single âGood Goodbye.ââBruv I canât lie Iâm so upset serious,â he tweeted, along with several instances of the heartbroken emoji.
âI am heartbroken you do not know what someoneâs going through serious,â he added. âPrayers up for your family right now my brother.â
Placebo have also written a touching tribute to Bennington. After sending their love and condolences to Benningtonâs family and friends and describing the musician as ânever less than a kind, gentle and generous soulâ, the band wrote of the stigma attached to âthe twin demons of addiction and depressionâ in a post on their Facebook page.
âThis tragedy, along with the recent passing of Chris Cornell in similar circumstances, only highlights the pernicious and life-threatening nature of the twin demons of addiction and depression,â they wrote, âto which in society there still remains a large stigma attached; especially when it comes to successful musicians who, to the general public at least, appear to âhave it allâ.
