I feel a little bit of my childhood just died...

[Erica_America]

hearts broken can't comprehend this

[EbonicRose]

Why the hell do we lose one of the best singers every time?! This was so uncalled for & one of the most heartbreaking moments ever. This was the worst timing ever.

Lay to rest, Chester.

Man..I was depressed and cutting myself, thinking about suicide and I listened to his songs to keep me smiling and keep me alive. I wish I could do the same in return, rip Chester 💙

[noraa]

R.I.P. This is a death I won't be so numb to...

[JTD_YT]

Jesus christ. I feel like Chester was hinting towards his suicide with some of the band's new songs. Especially One More Light

[MotigEx]

This is so bizarre... without this guy i would have probably commited suicide myself a long time ago already....

[vinceruland]

Just goes to show that fame and fortune isn't always what it seems. Happiness is what you make of life yourself. For some people tho, pain really is permanent. RIP CB!!

Crawling in my skin 
These wounds they will not heal 
Fear is how I fall 
Confusing what is real…

[The_Speak_EZ]

That you don't know what you've got
Oh you don't know what you've got
No you don't know what you've got
Until it's gone
Until it's gone
Until it's gone
