    Chester Bennington's demise left the entire music industry silent.

    Mike Shinoda, Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, Chance the Rapper, One Republic and Imagine Dragons, among others, were saddened and disturbed by the singer's death.

    The Linkin Park vocalist reportedly hanged himself at his Palos Verdes residence on Thursday-- which would have been his late friend Chris Cornell's 53rd birthday.

    "Shocked and heartbroken, but it's true," Shinoda, who co-founded Linkin Park in 1996, wrote.

    Rihanna shared Bennington's picture on Instagram, writing "Literally the most impressive talent I've ever seen live! Vocal beast! #RIPChester #LinkinPark."
