Chester Bennington sings "Hallelujah" in Eulogy to Chris Cornell

Chester Bennington performed at the funeral of his close friend Chris Cornell just two months before he took his own life. Chester was good friends with the Soundgarden and Audioslave frontman, and sang a haunting version of Jeff Buckley’s Hallelujah at his funeral on May 26.
The 41-year-old sang the ballad alongside Linkin Park guitarist Brad Delson at the memorial service at the Hollywood Forever cemetery.
The funeral was private but as it took place outside, waiting fans could hear Chester’s performance, with recordings of the poignant song surfacing online.
Bennington was godfather to one of Chris’s children, and he was hit hard by the star’s death back in May.
El hombre de Linkin Park versionó a Leonard Cohen en el masivo funeral para su viejo amigo.
Las historias de Chris Cornell y Chester Bennington estarán entrelazadas para siempre. No solo porque ambos se hicieron muy amigos en sus últimos años, sino porque fallecieron con dos meses de diferencia, ambos decidiendo quitarse la vida tras largas batallas contra la depresión.
Hay algo macabro en lo que pasó con Bennington, considerando que el líder de Linkin Park estuvo muy metido en los preparativos del funeral de Cornell. El vocalista no solo fue uno de los primeros de reaccionar ante la muerte de su par en Soundgarden, sino que también fue seleccionado para hacer la despedida musical a Cornell en el mismísimo funeral.
Ahí, Bennington cantó una emotiva versión de 'Hallelujah' de Leonard Cohen. Si bien se solicitó que nadie grabara el momento en video, un audio de la versión comenzó a circular eventualmente en redes sociales. La

SteveThePirate80 Full aware of the pedo ring too Steve. Our goverment is filled with pedavors and chomos and worse. The Evil they are capable of, is unfathomable. And they protect one another, and extort our once great nation. But two things make me not believe the “ murder conspiracy” He himself (Chris) chose to sing “ in my time of dying”, when his normal Zepplin song was “thank you”, And the expression I mentioned before about Chesters last show, seemed very determined and filled with resolve. Either way a tragic loss for all of us, especially their wives and children. But i do continue to wonder too man, just how evil is our government could infact be…Like Mick said “after all it was you and me” and That was a presidential murder…Anything is possible…Peace Bro.

Did you see the interview he and explained depression to s T!! I won't ever forget him saying the area in between his head was a bad neighborhood to visit!! So sad!! R I P Chester and Chris!!

[@NathanPinkerton]

@sreppup spoken like someone who has never dealt with mental illness in themself, or more importantly, a loved one.

[@deprofundis3293]

@sreppup you clearly have zero experience with depression, or empathy..

[@nitalightell336]

@sreppup we are all sharing this planet. It's our duty as human beings to help each other. I feel sorry for you for feeling the way you do. I just ended a relationship with a man that I love very much because I found out that all women are crazy according to him, and that depressed people are aggravating. Wow. Just wow. I do hope for your sake, that you never have depression or any other kind of mental illness

[@mollyfoxxx]

@sreppup It isn’t our responsibility to help others?! Especially those who are suffering with mental health issues and suicidal ideation? In this instance, there wasn’t much that fans could do to directly help Chester, but we can still help now by keeping his memory alive, continuing to speak out about mental health to help reduce the stigma, and reaching out to help others who are struggling whether they be friends or strangers on the internet. Congratulations, you might just be one of the most selfish people ever. Maybe YOU should seek help for your sociopathic tendencies.

Less then 2 months later we lost this beautiful man 😢 RIP Chester and Chris!

[@tallyhoe03]

When you think about the strength he had to have to get through this song, knowing how much he was struggling with his own demons and the recent loss of his friend, it’s pretty remarkable. Sad stuff

I miss Chester so much, it's still hard to reckon with him being gone. All I have left is gratitude for the life he lived and all the good impact he's left in this world.

[@AnjelLee-nt1oz]

This is the best version for me. It is so raw and heart wrenching to hear.

[@coryhudson2901]

This is such a sad thing to see. I've struggled personally with both depression and drug addiction. Music was my peaceful place to withdraw to and just get out of my head. I've been a sound garden and linkin park fan my entire life. Both bands have been a huge part of my life and my sobriety. Not even money, success, fame, etc can be enough to motivate someone struggling to reach out & ask for help. THIS NEGATIVE STIGMA ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH HAS TO STOP!! How many more preventable deaths have to occur before it's enough. Asking for help, especially when it's so dire can seem an impossible task. It doesn't have to, if you or anyone you know struggles with depression. You're not alone and there's confidential help out there. I'm still here today because I made the decision to get the help I so desperately needed. Now I'm a firm advocate for mental health awareness and treatment. I proudly share my story today because the thought of my loved ones losing me, is FAR more terrifying to me than taking that 1st step ever was. Even in your most lonely times, you're never alone.

[@hkmb54]

a very close friend of mine were visiting me and I opened this masterpiece when we were drinking.. his reaction was the best way to describe chester’s angel voice.. “I wonder how chris didn’t reborn after this performance..”

[@Dr.Hoppity]

You can feel his pain. RIP to these wonderful gentlemen.

[@triplehelix247]

Chester was so valuable to his fans. He was like a mentor to us all, providing us with coping through music of all sorts of emotions. The band as a whole did this together but Chester being the main voice was front and center.

[@jo-marieshears9362]

It's crazy how I felt about this man I never met. I identify with him in ways I never thought possible and I look forward to meeting him on the other side oflufe

rip Chris and chestor. I’ve struggled with depression and I still do some days. But I promise it gets better! If your being bullied get help young or old. if your abusing drugs please get help Go to meetings to help you !

[@bradlongfellow9238]

I love Chester, as many still do. You can hear his pain of losing Chris as he's singing. You can hear his struggle in every Linkin Park song. Hallelujah is one of my all time favorite songs. Chester does it justice, no doubt. But implore you to listen to Jeff Buckley's version. It'll make you feel the song like no other version. Look it up, you won't be disappointed.

If you don’t sing the last verse you can’t be the best at singing the song

Chester was worried he wouldnt pick the best song for Chris' funeral. In moment of silence alone, he reached out to Chris and Hallelujah came into his mind. Turns out Chris and his daughter sang the song together all the time and its Toni and Chris' favorite song
