Robbourdon Stories

In this powerful memoir, Dayton Cahill - co-lyricist and one of three lead vocalists of the Grammy Award-winning rock band Linkin Park - traces his journey from a childhood in Agoura Hills, California, raised by a single mother, to the unforgiving heights of global fame. Cahill recounts his early rise as the frontman of the California-based nu metal band Platinum 242, and the devastating loss of two bandmates in 2002 that shattered both the group and his sense of self. In the aftermath of grief and near collapse, he was given an unlikely second chance: joining Linkin Park. What began as a risk became salvation, forged through brotherhood, trust, and music that quite literally kept him alive. Interwoven throughout are deeply personal reflections on his life, from his relationship with actress Brittany Murphy, his marriage to global pop icon Britney Spears in 2004, fatherhood, and the struggle to build a private life under public scrutiny. Cahill also explores his ventures beyond music - into acting, media work and even racing - and the constant tension between danger, control, and purpose. BUT IN THE END is not a tale of fame, but of survival: a raw, honest account of loss, love, and the six men who stood between one life and the end. DISCLAIMER: This is a work of fictitious memoir.

Just a little one-shot.

Put in writing the ultimate dream that he is still alive. 《 Ladies and gentlemen! You can smile again, you can sing our lyrics, you can scream for him, you can yell his name; he will hear you! 'CAUSE HE IS BACK!》 ▪Translation help by Rashell Percy _ ..... It may be based on places, characters, real facts ... I do not know anything about it either, so I'll be a bit creative. In tribute to my idol, our legend, the star that was there for me when I did not find myself anymore. I regret so much for not being able to save you in return ... Rest in peace Chester, the flame you have lit in our hearts, will remain alive for eternity.

Enjoy the lyrics!!!

I'm not wild

They remembering the feeling when they played on stage. They miss it. They need it. Adrenaline flowed through their bodies as they did what they loved. Brad though that they could play last time, because it's ten years after Chester passed. What do you think, will they try it?

Chester Bennington was an ordinary person, with an ordinary life. Until one day, when he was eighteen. Everything changed in a blink of an eye, and he was left with a choice. Turn his back, or take on a whole new weight? Mike Shinoda was unlucky. He had his whole life washed away. And he wished he went with the tides.

This is a fanfiction of Chester Bennington and Linkin Park. Hope you guys like it. I didn't own Linkin Park or anyone of the songs, characters, sadly. Copyright by Carmenxx_

Chester needs to lean himself against someone to keep himself sane - he's relying on another human being to stand with his own feet. - He was alright when his mother was still alive, but after she was snatched away from him, he ripped apart. He was sent into a strange orphanage home, coping fast with the fact that there are a few peoples who leant him such a care, showing him that no matter what happens, they will always help. Though he was almost feeling as if he's living a normal life again with his new friends, there was an odd boy that he was roomed with since the very beginning of his adventure at the place who had unexpectedly won his heart, and he was willing to lose everything just to be with him. But that boy was also broken, probably a bit more due to the bad of his past, and the uncontrollable temper that he has. Things are always difficult, but after all, they'll stop, isn't that the ending of a start?

When two of the six Linkin Park members are turned into children, how will the other four survive?!?!

Brad gets attacked while walking home from the studio and is left with a shell of who he used to be. Can anyone save him?

(Based in 2002.) (Not everything will be historically correct.) There was a girl named Laine Nights. She rebelled against her parents, that were strict, and were dominating her actions. They never cared. She hated it so much. But later, she met the two famous men; Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda... Did her life change..?

Linkin Park and Avenged Sevenfold, what else can I say?

I know the title is very imaginative xD Linkin Park is on tour right now and things are getting hot between Chester and Mike. Best description xD

Request what your favorite rock/rap band should react to!! They'd be happy to do it.

Melody lost someone she loved but she finds an old friend that would help her get over her fears and grief. The quote "May your love never end, and if you need a friend, there's a seat here alongside me" inspired me to start writting this, Hope you like it. #makechesterproud
