Musicians and fans are sharing their grief online following the death of Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington.

It's thought the 41 year-old took his own life at his home in LA.

The dad of six had previously battled alcohol and drug problems.

He recently sang Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' at the funeral of his friend Chris Cornell. The Soundgarden and Audioslave frontman also took his own life earlier this year. Chester died on his friend's birthday.

Stormzy's tweeted he's "heartbroken", while Billy Idol says he was a "great talent", and Rihanna's described him as "vocal beast" in concert.

Actor Channing Tatum says he was a massive Linkin Park fan and he had met Chester a number of times.
