Linkin Park has cancelled its North American tour after the death of frontman Chester Bennington.
"We are incredibly saddened to hear about the passing of Chester Bennington. The Linkin Park One More Light North American Tour has been cancelled and refunds are available at point of purchase. Our thoughts go out to all those affected," tour promoter Live Nation said in a statement on Friday.
Bennington, 41, took his own life on Thursday at his home in Palos Verdes, near Los Angeles, a week before the California alt-rock band was due to embark on its tour, starting on July 27 in Mansfield, Massachusetts.
Bennington had a history of alcohol and drug abuse and had spoken openly in the past about his struggles to overcome his demons when Linkin Park first found fame in 2000 with their best-selling debut album, Hybrid Theory.
Winter said an autopsy was pending and toxicology tests were also likely to be carried out.
