Absolutely gutted, just came home to the news flying around on social media. Had the pleasure of working with a band supporting them years ago and he was one of the most welcoming guys, shy yet so endearing to talk to once he was out of his shell, such a shame

RIP

Massive part of many of my friends childhood.. was never really a fan but this is extremely sad

I was 14 when Hybrid Theory came out and I remembering listening to it a lot on CD before moving on. Recently, I threw some songs from that album on my iPod because it really is good music to run to.
