While the future of Linkin Park remains in limbo, Bennington’s bandmates paid tribute to their fallen frontman in a heartfelt Facebook post on July 24.

“Our hearts are broken,” the note read. “The shockwaves of grief and denial are still sweeping through our family as we come to grips with what has happened. You touched so many lives, maybe even more than you realized. In the past few days, we’ve seen an outpouring of love and support, both public and private, from around the world. Talinda and the family appreciate it, and want the world to know that you were the best husband, son, and father; the family will never be whole without you.”
