Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington committed suicide on Thursday, law enforcement sources told entertainment portal TMZ.
The singer hanged himself at a residence in Palos Verdes Estates in L.A. County. His body was discovered on Thursday morning.
Bennington reportedly struggled with drugs and alcohol for years. He had also said that he had considered committing suicide as he was abused by an older male as a child, added TMZ.
He was married with six children from two wives.
Bennington was also very close with Chris Cornell, who committed suicide in May.
Linkin Park has had a string of hits over the years including "Faint," "In the End" and "Crawling."
Linkin Park's album "Meteroa" was one of the biggest alternative albums in music history.
