Korn guitarist Brian “Head” Welch discussed Chester Bennington’s suicide in a new Facebook post.
“Honestly, Chester’s an old friend who we’ve hung with many times, and I have friends who are extremely close to him, but this is truly pissing me off! How can these guys send this message to their kids and fans?!
I’m sick of this suicide shit! I’ve battled depression/mental illness, and I’m trying to be sempethetic, but it’s hard when you’re pissed! Enough is enough! Giving up on your kids, fans, and life is the cowardly way out!!!”
Bennington has six children from two relationships.
According to TMZ, Chester was scheduled to join his bandmates for a photo shoot in Hollywood today.
Sources told the site Chester arrived back in L.A. Wednesday from Arizona, where he and his wife were spending time.
One of Bennington’s bandmates showed up at the singer’s Palos Verdes Estates home shortly after police arrived, according to the site. He said he was supposed to be driving Chester to the photo shoot and was “absolutely shocked.”
