Linkin Park has released a letter after their bandmate Chester Bennington tragically committed suicide last week at the age of 41.

The letter began, “Dear Chester,” and was written as a note to him.

“Our hearts are broken. The shockwaves of grief and denial are still sweeping through our family as we come to grips with what has happened,” the letter began. “You touched so many lives, maybe even more than you realized. In the past few days, we’ve seen an outpouring of love and support, both public and private, from around the world. Talinda and the family appreciate it, and want the world to know that you were the best husband, son, and father; the family will never be whole without you.”

“Talking with you about the years ahead together, your excitement was infectious. Your absence leaves a void that can never be filled�”a boisterous, funny, ambitious, creative, kind, generous voice in the room is missing. We’re trying to remind ourselves that the demons who took you away from us were always part of the deal. After all, it was the way you sang about those demons that made everyone fall in love with you in the first place. You fearlessly put them on display, and in doing so, brought us together and taught us to be more human. You had the biggest heart, and managed to wear it on your sleeve,” the note from the band continued.

“Our love for making and performing music is inextinguishable. While we don’t know what path our future may take, we know that each of our lives was made better by you. Thank you for that gift,” the note concluded. “We love you, and miss you so much.”

Linkin Park‘s brand new album called One More Light is out now!

The 10-track set comes packed with the band’s – Chester Bennington, Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, Dave Farrell, Rob Bourdon and Joe Hahn – lead single “Heavy” with Kiiara and “Battle Symphony.”

“Once the album comes out and people see it live I think that they’ll be provided with so much more context,” Mike recently said about the album. “Just hearing any song, like ‘Heavy’, is just one piece of the whole. That said, though, if the only thing you want to listen to is ESP guitars through a rectifier amp then this is not the album for you. Come to a show, though, because there are songs in the set which are for you! This is not your album, though.”

One More Light is available on iTunes now!
