Chester Bennington's ex-wife is releasing a memoir about her life, including the nine years she spent married to the late Linkin Park frontman.
Samantha Olit shared an excerpt of her book "Falling Love Notes: Memories of a Rock Star Wife" with the Rolling Stone. The excerpt talks about the time Bennington decided to go to rehab when he was supposed to spend time with their son Draven. She had plans to publish the book in 2017 but decided to wait when Bennington took his life that year. Olit said she hopes his fans remember him for more than being the "face of depression."
