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 ?

So. Of my two favorite artists one is just about to become an octogenarian and the other is a nonagenarian. So I feel like their deaths are something that can happen at any moment.

Ryan Dunn.

Michael Jackson and Matthew Perry, because both died by overdosing on medication that was meant to help them.

They had sad and hard periods in their life, but they both wanted to be okay and to be happy! They did everything we are told to: reach out, ask for help, follow doctors orders.

...It feels so unfair, they feel like lives interrupted (as many many others). So them, even though I am not a fan.
