    Okay seriously people stop body shaming its not cool. So what if Jerry gained weight or got older. That is not what this video is about. This is about Chris and Chester and suicide and its very sad. People should focus on their music and level of talent instead. Jerry and Mike are pretty cool guys for doing this.

She said that "If there was anyone that watched out for Layne the most it was Jerry believe it or not." If Jerry was ever hard on Layne it was because he wanted Layne to get help.

    Jerry has been through a lot in his life and he has been able to always pull himself out out with music. It undoubtedly saved his life and many who have listened. The people he lost needed so much help and I hope that serves to tell people that there’s always another option and to get help, because their loss becomes our loss as well.

    Touched me very deep..when he said..we all walk thru this life together basically said it all..but it's more than just the loss of friends&family etc..it moreless strikes me as though saying we're with you no matter what your crisis's are or is? AND your conditions are what mine are..get help seek help..the support is available
    And just pray for the many that continue to struggle the day2day battles of life..it makes gloomy days alittle brighter when you hear your not alone.. thanks

    Linkin Park was my gateway band to rock. Chester is my idol and will always be my favorite singer. When ever I got the chance to listen to Layne Staley and Chris Cornell they jumped to my top 5 favorites of all time real quick. So tragic and heartbreaking to lose these amazing souls. Hope they’ve found peace where they’re at. RIP legends, we’ll always remember you

    Not only can you get through substance abuse to sobriety, but you can thrive and love life again!! I have, and I was bad. The most important ingredient to helping someone: Love. And support. Let them know it's going to be OK. You'll have so much to look forward to. It's just darkest before the dawn.

    Chris, Chester, Scotland, and so many others including Jerry are a huge part of my recovery. My state of mind. My love for music just because they spoke to my heart through their talent.

      bellarose6501 I almost crashed my car when I heard it on the radio the day after it happened. I found the pic I used in Pinterest. I wanted something that captured him singing and some of that insanely beautiful hair he had. It really turned out amazing. After it is all healed, I plan to go and put flowers on his marker at the cemetery in Hollywood.
