NEW YORK (AP) – The wife of late Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington says she’s feeling the love from the rocker’s fans but she’s also feeling the loss.

Talinda Bennington said in a statement late Thursday she wants “to let my community and the fans worldwide know that we feel your love. We feel your loss as well.”

Chester Bennington hanged himself from a bedroom door in his home near Los Angeles last week. His death was ruled a suicide.

Talinda Bennington wrote that “we had a fairytale life and now it has turned into some sick Shakespearean tragedy. … How do I pick up my shattered soul?”

Bennington was found dead on what would have been the 53rd birthday of Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell, who hanged himself in May. The two were friends.
