Linkin Park lead singer Chester Bennington has died aged 41, it has been confirmed.

The rock vocalist was found to have killed himself at his home in California on Thursday morning, according to website TMZ.

Bennington, who also performed with band Dead by Sunrise, was married and had six children.

A Palos Verdes Estates police spokesperson told Sky News: "At 8.56 we responded to a call at the 2800 block, Via Victoria.

"This remains under investigation."

Linkin Park achieved international fame with their debut album Hybrid Theory in 2000, which reached number four in the UK music charts.

The band then achieved UK number one albums with Meteora in 2003, Minutes to Midnight in 2007, and Living Things in 2012.

Five of their singles also reached the top 10 in the UK charts, while they famously collaborated with rapper Jay-Z for 2004 album Collision Course.

Bennington sang Leonard Cohen's song Hallelujah at the funeral of his friend Chris Cornell, the lead singer of Soundgarden and Audioslave, in May this year.

Cornell hanged himself in a hotel room, with 20 July marking what would have been his 53rd birthday.

Wow, that sucks. :cry:

This guy sang from a very deep place, some where beyond his person and into his soul...

"Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real"

Still listen to them daily, was hard this morning:blueCry:

"What I've Done"

In this farewell
There's no blood
There's no alibi
'Cause I've drawn regret
From the truth
Of a thousand lies

So let mercy come
And wash away
What I've done

I'll face myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done

Put to rest
What you thought of me
While I clean this slate
With the hands of uncertainty

So let mercy come
And wash away
What I've done

These are the lyrics that make a whole lot of sense now:

'I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter'

Sad day indeed
