Following the reports that confirmed
Bennington had hung himself, Brian Head Welch responded on Facebook
“this is truly pissing me off” with part of his statement
reading: “Giving up on your kids, fans, and life is the cowardly
way out!!!”
However, he clarified his statement on
Facebook later on with an apology saying: "I didn't mean to
sound insensitive about Chester. Just dealing with a range of
emotions today. Love you Chester. I'm pissed that you did this, but I
know this could have been me back in the day after getting wasted one
night."
He wrote on his Facebook page, “
Honestly, Chester's an old friend who we've hung with many times, and
I have friends who are extremely close to him, but this is truly
pissing me off! How can these guys send this message to their kids
and fans?! I'm sick of this suicide shit! I've battled
depression/mental illness, and I'm trying to be sympathetic, but it's
hard when you're pissed! Enough is enough! Giving up on your kids,
fans, and life is the cowardly way out!!!
I'm sorry, I know meds and/or alcohol
may have been involved, I'm just processing like all of us and I know
we are all having some of the same thoughts/feelings.
Lord, take Chester in your arms and
please re-unite him with his family and all of us one day. Be with
his wife and kids with your grace during this difficult time."
