AceShowbiz - Linkin Park's new video for "Talking to Myself" may serve as a farewell tribute to frontman Chester Bennington. Hours before reports about Chester's suicide surfaced, the rock band unveiled the music video on their official YouTube channel.
The Mark Fiore-directed video follows Linkin Park touring Europe. It unveils how the members spent time backstage by eating together, fooling around at the venues and chatting together. Passionate fans who attended the concerts are also featured.
Chester is the main star in the video. He can be seen running across the stage, singing in the studio and interacting with the audience. One touching scene sees the singer talking to his fans happily outside the concert venue.
"Talking to Myself" is a personal song which Chester wrote from his wife Talinda Bentley's point of view. "The truth is, you turn into someone else/ You keep running like the sky is falling/ I can whisper, I can yell/ But I know, yeah I know, yeah I know/ I'm just talking to myself," he sang in the chorus.
Fans are incredibly saddened by his sudden death. "It hurts to know today we lost a legend, his music helped me so much with my depression, my way of life and everything, i was only 12 when i first heard 'In the End' and after that i knew i fell in love with this band. You will truly be missed," a YouTube user comments. Another writes, "When the news broke of his death I was completely shocked and just heartbroken. RIP Chester."
Chester Bennington reportedly committed suicide by hanging himself at a private residence in Los Angeles. He was 41.
