Linkin Park Won't Perform ‘One More Light' Live, ‘Too Sad to Play' After Chester Bennington's Death
Last Updated: The title track of the band's final album with late lead singer Chester Bennington is off the setlist for their current tour. Linkin Park won't perform One More Light live because it's 'too sad to play". The title track of the band's final album with late lead singer Chester Bennington – who took his own life in 2017 – is off the setlist for their current tour as it brings up too many memories of Chester. The band's co-founder Mike Shinoda explained to The Guardian newspaper: '[It was originally written] for a woman at the label that we worked with who passed away. Then after Chester passed, the world decided that it was about him. And so that's just too sad to play." After Chester's death, Mike took time out from Linkin Park and tried to process his grief through writing the solo album Post Traumatic. He explained he 'wanted to make Post Traumatic as a diary of how I felt for myself", [but also had the urge to play live] 'to provide an area for fans to commune and go: 'Oh, Mike is still here. We didn't lose everybody.'" While Mike found the tour helpful, 'in the beginning", he could not wait to end it as it started to get 'exhausting", trying to deal with the grief of the fans. He said: 'And then towards the end it was exhausting. I had started to … I don't want to say move on. 'Move on' to some people means not looking back and forgetting – that's completely not how I felt. I felt like I was coping well and I was able to get up in the morning and not think about it, and I was evolving from the terrible stuff that had happened. Then I would go to the show and spend 90 minutes with half the crowd crying. And I'm like, this is f****** exhausting. You know how therapists see patients all day and help them, but then they need therapy themselves? That's how I felt." First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Linkin Park removes One More Light from live shows after Chester Bennington's death
Linkin Park has confirmed that the song One More Light will no longer feature in their live performances following the death of frontman Chester Bennington. The track, which was the title song of the band's final album with Bennington, has been described as 'too sad to play' by co-founder Mike Shinoda. In an interview with The Guardian, Shinoda explained that the song was originally written for a colleague at their record label who had passed away. 'Then, after Chester passed, the world decided that it was about him. And so that's just too sad to play,' he said. Bennington died in 2017, and Shinoda later released his solo album Post Traumatic, which reflected his personal grief while maintaining a connection with fans. He said the album offered a place where fans could feel reassured that he was still present for them. Following Bennington's passing, Shinoda shared that performing live eventually became 'exhausting' as he coped with his own grief while recognising the emotional reactions of fans during concerts. He compared the experience to therapists who require support themselves after helping others. Linkin Park has since returned to live performances with a new lead singer, Emily Armstrong, and drummer Colin Brittain, following a seven-year hiatus. Bassist Dave 'Phoenix' Farrell recently spoke about the band's return and working with new members during an interview with 98 Rock radio.

The Good, The Bad, And The Unhinged: 5 Books For Those Who Love Messy Female Characters
For every Walter White that has multiple fanboys lining up to defend him on social media, there seems to never be the same love for a problematic, angry, or downright despicable female character. Sarah Jessica Parker recently talked about how audiences are more critical of female characters making bad decisions and honestly, she's right. Whether it be in real life, on screen, or even in books, women just aren't always given the same space to be messy, self-destructive, or morally grey without being completely written off by fans. So if you, like me, love your main characters flawed, complicated, and a little (okay, a lot) unhinged, here are 5 books that deliver just that. 1. Luster by Raven Leilani 2. Post Traumatic by Chantal V. Johnson 3. The Salt Grows Heavy by Cassandra Khaw 4. Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn 5. Circe by Madeline Miller
