Chester Delight At New Addition
rubbafish by Colin Weston April 27th, 2002
Chester Bennington, singer with nu-metal outfit Linkin Park, is now a father. His wife Samantha gave birth to a baby boy on April 19 with both baby and mother reportedly doing fine.

When asked how this will affect him and the band, Bennington announced that the whole family will join him on the next Linkin Park tour, but it's likely this won't be until the band release their new album, a follow-up to the massively successful 'Hybrid Theory'.

Bennington has had a remarkable past year with the success of his band and also the hit single 'It's Going Down' with the X-Ecutioners which crashed the UK top 10 on its release. We all wish him and his family the very best in the future.
