Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington has reportedly committed suicide at age 41, according to TMZ. TMZ reports Bennington hanged himself at a Palos Verdes Estates residence in L.A. County. Billboard has reached out to reps for the band and authorities for confirmation.

Bennington struggled with drug and alcohol addictions at various times during his life. He was married and is survived by six children.

The band's most recent album, One More Light, topped the Billboard 200 earlier this year.

linkin park is my childhood... one of my fav bands..

a brave, beautiful, talented man gone far too young...

i was reading about his life earlier and this heartbreaking part seems to show the type of person he was...

In an interview, Bennington revealed that he suffered sexual abuse from an older male friend when he was seven years old.^[9] He was afraid to ask for help because he did not want people to think he was gay or lying, and the abuse continued until the age of 13.^[4] The abuse and situation at home affected him so much that he felt the urge to kill and run away.^[4] To comfort himself, he drew pictures, and wrote poetry and songs.^[4] Later, he revealed the abuser's identity to his father, but chose not to continue the case after he realized the abuser was a victim himself
