Members of Linkin Park say their hearts are broken following the death of lead singer Chester Bennington, who died by hanging last week.

Bennington, who was 41, hanged himself from a bedroom door in his home near Los Angeles.

The band says Bennington “touched so many lives, maybe even more than you realized.”

Linkin Park had planned to launch a tour this week, but canceled it following Bennington’s death. Their hits include “In the End” and “Numb.”
