Grey Daze Dan Grup Tribute In The End Kenang Chester Bennington

JAKARTA - Two years ago, Linkin Park had been left by its vocalist, Chester Bennington. His departure certainly left wounds for both family and fans. One of them is Chris Hodges, a Bennington fan who feels sad because his idol is the opening path for the fan community to speak out about mental health and Linkin Park music.

Entering the third year, Hodges wants to make a memento to bring his idol to life in a concert version. He also created a tribute group called In The End. This is also what made Hodges decide to become a professional musician.

For him, Chester Bennington and Linkin Park are the reasons why he wants to become a professional vocalist. In an interview with the Daily News, Hodges said the song One Step Closer was Linkin Park's first song he listened to.

“I remember when I first heard it… I was in the Wendy's lot in Dallas, Texas and the song was playing on a radio station called The Edge,” recalls Hodges.

Being a fan, the vocalist's departure made him sad and that's why he finally formed a tribute band. Until now, In The End still sang Linkin Park songs.

Yesterday, March 19, time of the United States (US), on the night before the Crank film player's birthday, the group In The End held a memorial concert at Regent Theater, Downtown Los Angeles. All ticket sales proceeds will be sent to To Write Love On Her Arms (TWLOHA), an organization that focuses on mental health. Like Linkin Park, who speaks a lot through his songs, In The End wants to do the same.

TWLOHA was also present at the event to open a counseling session with friends who are in need and interested in talking about mental health issues. This is also a point for Hodges in respecting Bennington's work and work ethic during his career as a musician.

“When I first formed this (group), I waited up to a year to train my voice to be effective (singing). There are some songs that are difficult to sing, such as Given Up, there are 38 seconds of screaming in the middle of the song, ”said Hodges, who kept practicing to deliver Linkin Park songs.

Not only the fans, Bennington's musician relatives, Gray Daze will release the Morei Sky music video as well as a collaboration with Bennington's widow, Talinda for a song called Amends on April 10.

Amends will feature Bennington's vocals as well as contributions from fellow musicians namely POD, Korn, Helmet, Dead by Sunrise and Bennington's son, Jamie.

Today in 1976, Bennington was born in Phoenix, Arizona, USA with the full name Chester Charles Bennington. If he is still alive, the vocalist who has also joined the grunge band Stone Temple Pilots is now 44 years old. Happy Birthday Chester Bennington!
