Top 10 Saddest Things About Chester Bennington

Chester Bennington like anyone else had his demons, and here are some of the most depressing things about him as he lived from 1976 - 2017.
The Top Ten
1 He was 41 when he died

Granted that's not a really old age, but it's still kind of young and shocking.

2 He suffered from sexual abuse

Oh my god. Jonathan Davis stated that he was molested when he was 12 but it happened to Chester at 7? That's really horrible.

It also sucks how his band didn't make the impact it had and that just makes it worse. Hopefully he's in a much better place now with Chris.

He's stated it was a friend of his that sexually abused him from 7 - 13 and that's just messed up...

At a very young age too.

3 His parents got divorced when he was 11 years old

And his father won custody of him...

4 He was bullied in highschool for being skinny and different

I hope those people are ashamed of themselves.

Kind of depressing to be honest...

I bet those bullies were kissing his ass until he died.R.I.P Chester.

5 He committed suicide

All suicides are depressing and his suicide is no exception...

6 After his parents divorce he suffered from drug addiction
7 He had depression

My heart goes out to anyone suffering this

Pretty obvious but worth mentioning.

And that let to his suicide.

For most of his life too.

8 He had both drug and alcohol addiction

He eventually got cleaned up but for a while he struggled with it...

9 He died on Chris Cornell's birthday

Two months after Cornell's death to... still kind of depressing.

10 His lyrics predicted his suicide

Especially the song "Given Up" which downright sounds like it's about depression.

No wonder "Easier to Run" sounds fitting to him

The Contenders
11 He got sick a few times and suffered from a few injuries

He was sick during the recording of the Numb music video, broke his wrist when performing Papercut, broke his leg while playing a basketball game, and even injured his shoulder.
