Linkin Park guitarist Mike Shinoda has released a new Instagram story with himself playing music, seemingly with a drummer. He called it ‘music therapy.’ This is the first sign of a surviving Linkin Park member playing music since Chester Bennington’s death last month.
Linkin Park guitarist Mike Shinoda posted the following on Instagram last month:
One week. Feels like forever. I’m here for a couple updates. I know these links aren’t clickable. Just type them out in your browser; they’re easy to remember.
1.) If you need a (local) place to celebrate Chester, look to tiny.cc/lpmemorial and all the amazing fan sites I’ve previously mentioned.
2.) If you’re having suicidal thoughts, go to chester.linkinpark.com
3.) If you’re going to buy merch in honor of Chester, consider who the purchase benefits. Don’t give money to scumbag bootleggers and opportunists. Linkin Park official merchandise is at store.linkinpark.com
4.) If you want to donate in honor of Chester, do it at musicforrelief.org
5.) Brad, Joe, Rob, Dave, and I love you all very much. Thank you for respecting our privacy during this extremely difficult time. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
