Linkin Park Bloke Survives Tummy Ache
afuture1 by Andrew Future June 5th, 2003
Chester from pop group Linkin Park has been hospitalised with a stomach ache.

After several years playing shows with facial signs of intense constipation, the band’s frontman has finally cracked, forcing the multi-platinum metallers to cancel a bunch of festival dates.

Don’t worry, they don’t affect you. Linkin Park are still confirmed to headline the Reading and Leeds festivals; as long as the pollen count isn’t too high. In the meantime, amuse yourselves by emailing him good wishes to chester@linkinpark.com.

A spokesman commented, ‘Chester Bennington was admitted to a Los Angeles area hospital last Friday after an attack of severe back and abdominal pains, so fuck off and go see Evanescence instead.’
