Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington has committed suicide ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us the singer hanged himself at a private residence in Palos Verdes Estates in L.A. County. His body was discovered Thursday just before 9 AM.

Chester was married with 6 children from 2 wives.

The singer struggled with drugs and alcohol for years. He had said in the past he had considered committing suicide because he had been abused as a child by an older male.

So you're saying he was jealous of all the attention Cornell was getting.

Not gonna act like I didn't blast hybrid theory for like a year straight in my youth. They left much to be desired in their newer albums for me personally. Can't say I'm a fan of linkin park but I know Chester helped a ton of kids battle through some hard times in their life with his lyrics and music. Some pretty devastated people out there. Means he made a big impact on a lot of people's lives. 

Very sad.

Wasn't a bad song on Hybrid Theory. In my opinion one of the greatest modern rock albums.

i blame michael bay for everything including this.

Hybrid was good and Meteora.   I don't think they've really every been "bad" (well maybe the new album).   I haven't really listened to them for a long time (like listen to an album etc).    There are very popular and a lot of people were touched by the lyrics and message.    Pretty sad.

Buddy and me were listening to them before anyone, back in the day when you could get albums like 6 months in advance it felt like on IRC and whatnot and loved Hybrid Theory.    It's one of the few redeemable popular rock albums from that nu-metal period honestly.

I remember when rock stars died accidentally.
