Late Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington’s son Draven, widow Talinda, and ex-wife Samantha have reacted on social media to Jared Leto’s tribute at the MTV VMA’s. Samantha and Draven wrote on Facebook:
Draven and I are sitting at home and we just watched The MTV music awards and Jared Letto’s speech!
Jared,
My son and I were so moved by your beautiful words honoring his father and my ex-husband. I know you two were great friends because he shared this with me and so did my son. You and I have only met once but you spoke so beautifully and eloquently that we both wished you were one of the chosen to speak at his funeral.
We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for saying such kind words about such a wonderful man who did wear his heart on his sleeve.
Thank you for being a very true friend to him and that I do know for a fact and he shared that with me.
Light & Love,
Sam & Draven
P.S. quote directly from Draven, ” thank you Jared that was the nicest thing anyone has said about my dad since he passed that I’ve heard come out of anyone’s mouth”.
