'I can either just give up and f**king die or I can fight': Chester Bennington's last interview

Chester Bennington's very last interview gives a insight into the Linkin Park frontman's complex relationship with depression.

The 41 year old father-of-six was tragically found dead at his home, just outside of Los Angeles, on Thursday. He had just come back from a holiday with his wife of 12 years Talinda Ann Bentley.


In what is believed to be his last ever interview, obtained exclusively by Mirror Online, the Crawling singer talks about death and how he valiantly battled on during his darkest hours.


Speaking to Will Lavin, he said:

“I came to a point in my life where I was like, ‘I can either just give up and fucking die or I can fucking fight for what I want.’ And I chose to fight for what I wanted. I wanted to have good relationships. I wanted to love the people in my life. I wanted to enjoy my job.
"I wanted to enjoy being a dad and having friends and just getting up in the morning. Because that was a struggle for me.
