(AllHipHop News) Lead singer of rock/rap band Linkin Park has committed suicide, according to reports.

Chester Bennington, the lead vocalist of the group, hanged himself and was found early Thursday morning.

He was 41, married with six children.

Chester Bennington and Linkin Park embraced Hip-Hop and worked with Jay-Z, Young Buck and others.

Perhaps, not-so-ironically, Bennington sang about suicidal thoughts on “Slow Ya Roll” with Young Buck. ” “This can’t be life we’re living ‘Cause I don’t wanna live no more, no more,” he sang.

In the past, Bennington has been candid about alcohol abuse and being sexually abused.
