Chester Bennington Hospitalised/Hospitalized

Posted on Tuesday, 3 June 2003 by Mike Little

“Chester Bennington, vocalist for Linkin Park was admitted to a Los Angeles
area hospital last Friday afternoon after an attack of severe back and
abdominal pains. Bennington remains hospitalized as doctors are still
trying to determine the cause of these ailments.
“All touring and video shoot plans in Europe have been put on hold this
month as we make sure Chester fully recovers,” states a spokesperson for
the band “we wish him the best, and will keep everyone posted as to his
condition.”

My best wishes are with him and his family.
Update 11/06/2003:

Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington is out of hospital but details of his illness are still a mystery. Chester himself thinks it was simply a virus.

Phliplip99,
do you mean your question from December? In which case the answer is “I don’t know.“
How would I know if Chester ever looked at this site?

just letting the world in on sum goss,

LP played their second show in Melbourne Australia last night which was insane.. Chester took a stumble during their second song and broke his wrist. No one thought too much of it, but a couple of songs in, they stopped and announced it.

they went off for a few minutes, but came back out. Chester announced to the crowd, “Its gonna be broken in an hour so I might as well continue.”

The show was crazy, he couldnt move his arm but gave it 110%. pure showmanship .. pure professional.

Hi Mike Little,

I don’t know how I came across this page, through somebody’s Blogroll I think. I just thought that amid all the madness someone should say “hi Mike Little, how ya doin’?” and acknowledge the fact that it’s glaringly obvious you’re not this Chester Bennington guy.

I’m not even a fan of Linkin Park. All the best, Mike.

Hey chester. LIKE OMG! i know alot of people say this but.…. IM YOUR NUMBER 1 FAN. Oh and i know alot of people say this to. I LOVE U! but what can i say your cute, u can sing, your married and u have kids. you have everything. u know now that i think about it i think i rather have u as friend. come on ur married and i wouldnt whant to mess that up especially if your happy. and thats all i whant oh and u know what else i whant if u could come to georgia that would be awsome!! u know what else i think u should won that nickalodian ( i know thats not how u spell it but the show is gay anyway so theres no point)kids choice award and that was like the only reason i watched it. but nnoo the stupid Jonas brothers had to win. u know there not even that good. ur way better. oh and will u still be around for 5yrs. because im 13 and i cant see one of ur concerts till im 18 or thats what my dad says. oh u know what he also said that im obsessed with u so not true ok maybe a little but like i said i wish we could really be friends. ive seen some of ur videos. like the one were u guys order chicken (in europe) and said it smelled like Bo and threw it out the window or the one were u guys went to some art show and mike (hes cute to) showed u his poop bag. or the one were u played happy birthday on that cockroach thing. so yeah i guess u could say im a fan but inside it feels like your a lost friend and i miss u. and i know it sounds weird but i cant explain it i know u so well and u dont even know i exist. we have alot in common. u sing so do i. idk if u play guitar but ive played for 2 years now. and my parents are divorsed to. anyway chester or chaz i wish we could meet someday even if its just a quick hello i will see u some day. Bye. and please consider coming to georgia it would be cool if i could meet u there.
