Chester Bennington’s son Jaime Bennington recently responded to a recent video posted by Julien-K singer Ryan Shuck. The video announced a one-night-only Dead by Sunrise show alongside In the End and Grey Daze singer Cris Hodges and the move drew a sharp response from Jaime.
Dead by Sunrise was a supergroup originally formed by Chester Bennington and Ryan Shuck. The announcement proved sensitive for the Bennington family, as the show would move forward without Chester’s involvement or blessing. Jaime took to the comments to express his disapproval.
“This is Ryan from Julien-K,” Shuck said in the video. “For one night only Dead by Sunrise with this amazing man, my friend Cris Hodges, amazing singer. We’re gonna play a selection of Dead by Sunrise songs on August 1st at The Bellwether in LA.”
Jaime Bennington responded directly to the announcement, making his feelings clear.
“How disrespectful,” Jaime commented. “I’m sorry they continue to choose this over choosing you, dad.”
The show is set to take place at August 1st at The Bellwether in Los Angeles. It remains to be seen whether the public reaction will have any impact on the event.
This is not the first time Jaime Bennington has spoken out publicly about how his father’s legacy is being handled. His willingness to call out figures from his father’s musical circle reflects a broader, ongoing tension between the Bennington family and some of Chester’s former collaborators over the stewardship of his name and work.
