Linkin Park's Bennington breaks arm

Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington broke his arm at the weekend while performing at a show in Australia.

The band had only played four songs when he fell off the stage causing the injury, but Bennington carried on and performed the whole show while his arm was strapped up.

Guitarist Mike Shinoba insisted that the injury would not cause any of their scheduled shows to be cancelled, saying on their forum: "Yeah, Chester broke his arm/wrist at the Melbourne show. he broke it sometime around the fourth song in, and proceeded to play the entire show with a broken arm.

"It was amazing...thanks very much for your 'get well' wishes, I'll pass them on. BTW, he says he'll be fine to do all the rest of the shows and meet and greets, so don't worry! more to come later."
