For me it was Cheater Bennington. Linkin Park music helped me through some hard times and I know some of the more impactful lyrics came from him and what he experienced.

Knowing he couldn’t take it anymore definitely hit Me hard particularly as someone I looked up to from young age …

Who was yours ?

It’s extra unsettling when a 50+ year old commits suicide. This was someone who had a thriving career, loved by millions, had a family and kids. It just shows that you have to take care of your mental health. It’s not going to magically get better with age.
