For me it was Cheater Bennington. Linkin Park music helped me through some hard times and I know some of the more impactful lyrics came from him and what he experienced.
Knowing he couldn’t take it anymore definitely hit Me hard particularly as someone I looked up to from young age …
Who was yours ?
Mac Miller was probably the worst one… I’m a little younger than him and watching his career from early on felt like watching an older brother develop and making it big. He made the soundtrack to most of my youth.
