After the July 20 death of singer Chester Bennington, surviving members of Linkin Park updated its website with suicide-prevention resources.

The site offers phone numbers and links for support, as well as real-time social media tributes to Bennington from all over the world. Bennington was very open about his struggles with mental health, and many fans on social media have claimed his music helped them through dark times.

Linkin Park had just filmed an episode of Carpool Karaoke and was about to embark on a national tour, which has now been canceled. The band released an official statement on Monday morning.
