Ugh, wow, this is really heartbreaking. I gasped out loud when I read the other day that he was the godfather of Chris Cornell's kid, too. Not that I want to shame either one of them, but I feel absolutely horrible for that kid. I can't imagine how he feels rn.

I like that the official statement is a letter to Chester. It's very sweet and personal.

So, so sad. I hadn't listened to their new album before yesterday other than "Heavy". The song "One More Light" is especially haunting now. I hope Chester has found peace. <3

Same. I never bothered to listen to it because after their first two albums they went to "emo" sounding for me. I downloaded the new album when I heard the news and the whole thing is so good and it almost makes it hurt even more that the last album with him is exactly the sort of music I am into these days. Bitter sweet in a way? The lyrics on the other hand are so haunting as you said. I would say it was a clear cry for help, but their lyrics have always had that vibe so I guess it wouldn't have been obvious, even if it were.

Yeah, it's hard to say it was a clear call for help when, like you said, the lyrics have always had that vibe.

I was such a huge fan for years that I'm not even sure what made me stop buying their stuff or going to see them. I think it was that they took a break for a couple years from albums and touring and I found other bands to fill that void. The last full album I bought was Minutes to Midnight. It came out not long after one of my best friends died and "Shadow of the Day" meant a lot to me (still does). Then I bought "Waiting for the End" but for some reason never bought any other stuff until "Heavy" came out. I feel bad for it now in a way. I never really stopped liking them but I just stopped paying as much attention. I'd always say they put on a great show though and had been thinking about going to their upcoming tour.

Sorry for the ramble!

It's better if you don't engage bb, I was going to but we know that sad person only wants attention so it's better not to give him what he wants.

Also, can u delete his comments? or it's not allowed?
