One day before Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington took his own life, the musician was filmed sampling mystery jelly beans. In the video, that his wife Talinda shared with her Twitter followers on Saturday, September 15, Bennington bites into what he calls a “rotten egg” flavor and immediately spits it out while making funny faces. His kids, who are seated around a table, laugh along with him.
“This is what depression looked like to us just 36 hrs b4 his death,” wrote Talinda, alongside the clip. “He loved us SO much and we loved him.”
Bennington’s widow prefaced the video by writing, “my next tweet is the most personal tweet I have ever done.”
