It’s been almost two years since the death of Chester Bennington, Phoenix native and beloved singer for Linkin Park. Phoenix photographer, musician, and Phoenix New Times contributor Jim Louvau, a close friend of Bennington who often took his picture both onstage and off, is sharing the photos he took of the singer in a new exhibit called “Celebrating the Life of Chester Bennington, a Photo Exhibit by Jim Louvau.” The opening reception happens from 6:30 to 10 p.m. on Friday, June 21, at monOrchid, 214 East Roosevelt Street. You need to be at least 21 to attend. Tickets are $35, and a portion of the proceeds will go to 320 Change Direction, a charity dedicated to raising mental health awareness co-founded by Bennington’s wife in the aftermath of his suicide.
