Hundreds of fans gathered in downtown Los Angeles Sunday evening to remember Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington.

Bennington, 41, died in a suicide last month, found hanged at his home in Palos Verdes Estates near L.A.

The tribute in Grand Park included a candlelight vigil and performers who sang Bennington songs, according to KABC-TV.

Organizer Ashlee Kelly said Bennington was an inspiration to so many

"He's lyrically touched so many lives, and he as a person was such a great human being - whether it be his charity work or his love for animals," Kelly told KABC.

"He is a spokesperson for the teenager growing up." she said

A private funeral service was held for Bennington last week.

He is survived by his wife and six children.
