Death of an artist

With the recent death of so many rappers, I thought that it would be only fitting to talk about the death of one of my favorite artists; Chester Bennington. Chester Bennington of Linkin Park is and will forever be one of my favorite artists, and also one of the most inspirational to me along the likes of Anthony Kiedis, and Paul McCartney. Chester was only 41 years old when he died and I was heartbroken when I heard the news. I had always wanted to, but I was never able to see them live. Image result for chester bennington age died

Due to my sadness, I made sure that I could see one of the other artists in the band; Mike Shinoda. This was one of the best days of my life, and I almost cried when played the original version of  “In The End”  with Chester’s original vocals. That day was one of the most amazing days I’ve ever had, and I am so glad I got to see him live.Image result for mike shinoda

Chester committed suicide, and had dealt with many demons throughout his life. If you are dealing with depression, or are having suicidal thoughts, then contact (1-800-273-8255).

Saying Goodbye

This morning, when I woke up to get ready for my day off, I opened  my phone and was immediately devastated. As I looked at the news section of my phone, I saw a picture of Stan Lee, a man that I had always respected, and had given me joy throughout my life, and I thought to myself, “What funny thing did he do now?”, but as I read the title of the article, I was no longer exited to read the article. Stan Lee had died.

Stan Lee for those who don’t know, was one of the original founders of Marvel Comics, along with Jack Kirby, and he was such an inspiration. Comic books at the time, were not this huge phenomenon like it is today. Superheroes weren’t even popular back then. but Stan Lee had a vision, and created what is now an empire for both comics and movies.
