The Los Angeles County coroner confirmed that the Linkin Park front man had taken his own life at the age of 41.
On the first anniversary of his death today, the band have paid tribute to their friend and bandmate in an Instagram post which has amassed more than a quarter of a million likes in just two hours.
To our brother Chester. It has been a year since your passing — a surreal rotation of grief, heartbreak, refusal, and recognition. And yet it sill feels like you are close by, surrounding us with your memory and your light.
In the post, which featured a phone number for a Suicide Prevention Helpline, the band paid tribute to the impact Chester had on those closest to him as well as the impression he left on music fans.
Your one-of-a-kind spirit has authored an indelible imprint on our hearts—our jokes, our joy, and our tenderness. Eternally grateful for the love, life, and creative passion you shared with us and the world. We miss you more than words can express.

A year ago today, the music world lost another legend 💔😢 I don’t think is LP fans will ever come to terms with the loss of Chester, but it just shows that no matter how happy someone seems, we never really know how they’re feeling on the inside. #RIPChester#MakeChesterProudhttps://t.co/E00Yuv5sNL
