Chester’s widow Talinda Bennington also shared some of the last video footage of Chester, which showed the singer hanging out with his family and trying out BeanBoozled jelly beans 36 hours before his death.
Talinda and Chester’s son Tyler drew a picture, which Talinda shared as well:
Talinda also recently appeared on Nikki Sixx’s “Sixx Sense“ to open up about Chester’s death:
“The loss of my husband just left such a gap in our world, and I feel like his death is kind of the straw that broke the camel’s back with this. He’s left me with such a huge platform to be able to be heard, and that’s what I plan on doing in his name, in his honor.”
She also added:
“I started to notice that fans were saying they were hurting, and they didn’t know what to do. And it weighed heavily on my heart, because their words were comforting me. And I just thought to myself, ‘You know what? What if we could just talk to each other?’”
She later continued:
“When there’d be somebody that was hurting, I just, ‘LP family.’ And then it became so widespread, [with] support from some other musicians and their fanbase. And now it’s just a call to help. When somebody is hurting, I just use my followers and ask them to lift one another up. So that’s how it all got started.”
