RECENTLY, the music world was stunned by the untimely death of Chester Bennington, lead singer of the popular rock band Linkin Park. Amid the outpouring of shock and grief from fellow musicians and fans, many were unable to make sense of the tragic manner in which Bennington had taken his life.
Questions continue to linger, perhaps none of which would ever be answered in a conclusive and satisfactory manner. Why would someone (or indeed anyone) with a family, fame and secure finances resort to such a drastic way to end his personal emotional turmoil? Was life so bleak and meaningless for him that ending it was the only rational option left?
