Linkin Park want to work with Horrors

Linkin Park's Chester Bennington has said that he wants to team up with UK goth-rockers The Horrors.Bennington revealed that he has several potential collaborations lined up and that they were top of his list.The rocker told XFM: "There is some collaborations we're thinking about working on right now.
"But I can't say who they are yet in case it doesn't happen. There's so many great artists out right now, I could just put a bunch of names in a hat and pick one and it'd be really cool.
"There's a lot of British artists - I think Amy Winehouse is really good, I heard a Babyshambles song the other day and I thought it was really interesting and actually kinda cool, and I was surprised by that as I wasn't sure what to expect.
"Arctic Monkeys are really great and I also really like The Horrors, they're probably my favourite band right now."

Video Of The Fall

Concert footage of Chester's fall during Monday night's Linkin Park performance in Melbourne, Australia has made its way onto YouTube. The fall happened at the very beginning riff of "Papercut" as he jumped from the steps at the center of LP's stage set-up and fell ten feet to the main stage.True to form, however, Chester gets back up and finishes the song out like a trooper. You can see him favoring his arm, as he remains in one place at the side of the stage for a good portion of the song, his arm draped over his knee.

Linkin Park singer breaks arm

Linkin Park front man Chester Bennington broke his arm four songs into a Melbourne show last week, it has been reported.Blabbermouth.net reported Bennington broke his arm during a fall but completed the set.Fellow Linkin Park member Mike Shinoda confirmed the incident in an online posting, saying he "broke it like four songs in, and played the whole rest of the show with it swelling up and looking terrible".
"He's planning to still do the shows and the meet and greets," Shinoda said. "Thanks for your 'get well' wishes, I'll pass them on."Linkin Park recently performed two shows in New Zealand at Auckland's Vector Arena.

Chester Is Hardcore!

Now this is the epitome of Rock and Roll!
Despite breaking his arm early in Linkin Park's set in Melbourne, Australia last night (Oct. 15), Chester managed to finish the entire concert before heading to the hospital.
Chester suffered the break while attempting his trademark monkey jump from high atop Linkin Park's stage when his foot got caught in the stairs and sent him plummeting backwards, falling awkwardly on his arm.The injury, which occurred around the third or fourth song of the set, did not deter Chester from performing onwards and finishing the concert for his adorning fans, despite severe swelling and excruciating pain (which undoubtedly lent more power to his screams).Fans in attendance were aware of the injury and were highly appreciative of Chester's perseverance and selflessness. As they say in the entertainment industry: the show must go on.
Remaining dates will go ahead as scheduled.Video footage about the accident, including Chester receiving first aid behind the set and performing with a limp arm in tow, is at LinkinPark.com
