KORN frontman Jonathan Davis has paid tribute to Chester Bennington, saying that he “loved” the late LINKIN PARK singer.
Bennington died on July 20 after committing suicide at the age of 41. He had been open with the press and public about his struggles with drugs and alcohol, which landed him in rehab twice around 2006.

Speaking to U.K.’s Kerrang! magazine, Davis said: “I understand depression and everything [Chester] was going through. It’s always the seemingly happy, sweetest ones that are hurting the most. It’s a terrible disease that can make things feel unbearable. When I found out what had happened, I didn’t even have the words.
“I loved his smile,” Jonathan continued. “I always looked forward to seeing him. If we were playing at a festival together, he’d make a point to come and find me, which I always appreciated. Chester‘s was an amazing journey to watch. I loved that kid.”
