Hybrid Theory was the first album that got me into that sort of music. I fell in love with it and it stuck with me the rest of my life. Fuck this sucks...

2 Wives and 6 Kids.
You really have to feel for them. Big loss for music, but even a bigger loss for his family members and friends
Edit: to clarify 2 different wives, not at the same time
