In her lengthy post, Samantha Bennington made a string of complaints including the accusation that she and her son 15-year-old son Draven have been left out of family events and services since the singer's suicide on July 20.

She claimed her son had not been given any of his father's belongings by his widow Talinda and accused those close to the rock star at the time of his death of 'capitalizing' on it with a 'disgusting' funeral.

Linkin Park Pays Tribute to 'Brother' Chester Bennington on First Anniversary of His Death

One year after the death of Chester Bennington, his Linkin Park bandmates are still mourning the loss of their “brother.”

In a touching tribute to the singer posted to Instagram on Friday, band members Mike Shinoda, Joe Hahn, Dave Farrell, Rob Bourdon, and Brad Delson wrote a candid and emotional message about the past year.

“To our brother Chester,” they wrote. “It has been a year since your passing — a surreal rotation of grief, heartbreak, refusal, and recognition. And yet it [still] feels like you are close by, surrounding us with your memory and your light. Your one-of-a-kind spirit has authored an indelible imprint on our hearts — our jokes, our joy, and our tenderness.”

“Eternally grateful for the love, life, and creative passion you shared with us and the world,” the note continued. “We miss you more than words can express.”

It was signed with “love,” along with the hashtags, “#MakeChesterProud” and “#320ChangesDirection.” Contact information for the Suicide Prevention Lifeline was also provided.
