While it’s always wonderful to see stories of people doing things that are out of the ordinary or going the extra mile just to help someone out – it’s also good to be reminded just how shitty certain people can be.
AKA – being brought back to the real world.
Chester Bennington, lead singer of Linkin Park, shockingly committed suicide a couple of weeks back and it sent shock raves through the Rock Music Community.
According to Rock Feed, though, one low life was selling items from the singer’s funeral – for tens of thousands of dollars!
Personal items given out at Chester Bennington’s funeral have surfaced online, with bids reaching over fifty thousand dollars as of the last review. The items being sold are a wrist band, laminate, and the funeral program.
It’s unclear who the items belong to, or why they would do something so terrible, but the person selling them says that they hope they will “find a great home with someone that will understand the meaning of them”.
Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda said the following regarding the issue:
If you’re gonna buy merch in honor of Chester, consider who the purchase benefits. Don’t give money to scumbag bootleggers & opportunists.

It seems that stories with Bennington’s death keep getting more and more bizarre, as last week, a rumor surfaced that the Linkin Park singer, along with Chris Cornell, were murdered and their suicides were a cover up to expose a bigger issue:
Police have reportedly launched a murder investigation into Chester Bennington’s death with insiders believing it is “extremely likely” the Linkin Park frontman was killed in eerily similar circumstances to his close friend Chris Cornell.
Detectives are looking into whether Chester Bennington was murdered, with the death scene later arranged to resemble a suicide. They have put a team of investigators in place and are refusing to rule out a criminal homicide charge.
“Murders are sometimes made to look like suicides. We think he was murdered, we just have to find out who was behind it,” said a police source.
It was deemed as more of a ‘conspiracy theory’ as opposed to an actual report, but still. Who comes up with this stuff?
