Just hours before news of Chester Bennington’s death was revealed, Linkin Park released a music video for their new single, “Talking to Myself” — which addresses the singer’s inner demons and struggles with addiction.
Written from his wife’s point of view, the song outlines the frontman’s lengthy battle with drugs and alcohol, and her numerous attempts to get him help.
The music video was posted Thursday on YouTube and Twitter at 9:01 a.m. — roughly two hours before news reports emerged, saying Bennington had committed suicide.
