The video shows Chester sitting beside his son as they tucked into oddly-flavoured jelly beans. Prior to her sharing the footage, Talinda admitted that the tweet was the "most personal tweet I have ever done". "I'm doing it to show that depression doesn't have a face or a mood," she added.

The Linkin Park frontman was 41 when he died on July 20; he has six children.

Also this week, Mr Bennington's 15-year-old son, Draven, released three videos for National Suicide Prevention Week; one of those shows the teenager stating: "I want to make a commitment that I will talk to someone before I hurt myself when I'm feeling depressed, sad or going through a hard week, month or year.'

He continues: "I want to challenge you to do the same - to help yourself, not hurt yourself."
