The photograph was snapped just a couple weeks ago, where he and his band Linkin Park had performed on the night of July 5.
As fans know, Bennington, who was open about his battles with addiction and mental issues, took his life on what would have been his late best friend Chris Cornell's 53rd birthday. Cornell committed suicide in May and Bennington, who even sang at Cornell's L.A. funeral, was said to have been deeply affected by his pal's passing.
“Chester and Chris were so close, and he was never the same after Chris’s death,” an insider told RadarOnline.com.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, friends and family are in absolute shock over his passing. “Chester was one of the brightest and most talented people on this planet, and he lived life to the fullest,” a close friend said, acknowledging that the star suffered from demons.
“Yes, he did struggle with addiction issues, but everyone thought that he had it licked. He seemed to be at a good place in his life. It is just so tragic and there are no words.” We pay for juicy info! Do you have a story for RadarOnline.com? Email us at tips@radaronline.com, or call us at 800-344-9598 any time, day or night.
