LINKIN PARK Singer Released From Hospital

June 9, 2003

LINKIN PARK singer Chester Bennington was released from a Los Angeles hospital Monday (June 9),according to MTV.com.

Bennington had checked into the facility on May 30 complaining of intense chest and stomach pains. Doctors determined that either a parasite or an intestinal disorder was likely responsible for the ailment.

LINKIN PARK emcee/vocalist Mike Shinoda told Los Angeles' KROQ-FM over the weekend that Bennington would probably need surgery once the exact cause of his illness was pinpointed. "[The doctors] did an MRI. It's not in his head, it's not in his brain," said Shinoda. "They've tested everything and narrowed the area down to his lower abdomen they say that that's a place where it's hard to get a diagnosis by." He added, "You know they can put cameras to check your stomach, they can check your lower areas, but that lower abdomen is a place where they can't really send anything in there so they have to just do these scans and tests."

Touring and video plans in Europe were canceled between June 7 and 23, but Bennington is expected to be ready to go when the Summer Sanitarium Tour launches on July 4 in Pontiac, Michigan.
