Linkin Park had released a new video just hours before Chester Bennington’s death was discovered.
Talking To Myself is taken from the album One More Light which came out in May and the video is a montage of clips from the band’s live shows which features the frontman heavily.
Bandmate Dave Farrell had tweeted the video before he learnt the devastating news and had asked fans what they thought of the song.
New video now available… let me know what you think!https://t.co/bWJvlgWuQh

He later tweeted just one word, “Heartbroken”, in recognition of his friend’s passing.
