Guitarists and musicians across the world are mourning the loss of Chester Bennington, the lead singer of Linkin Park, one of the century's most popular rock bands.

Hybrid Theory, Linkin Park's debut, was 2001's best selling album[1], and earned the band a Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance and a nomination for Best Rock Album at the 2002 edition of the ceremony.

Below, you can see a host of musicians paying tribute to Bennington on social media, starting with longtime bandmate, Mike Shinoda, who confirmed Bennington's death. Shinoda simply said that Bennington's tragic death had left him "shocked and heartbroken."
