'Talking To Myself,' which comes from the album 'One More Light,' was released at 9.01am, just hours before the news broke that he committed suicide at a private residence in Palos Verdes Estates, California.
The video, which features clips from the band's live shows and several shots of the vocalist himself performing onstage, ends abruptly and shows Bennington walking away from the microphone.
Fans are taking to social media to comment on 'Talking To Myself,' with one saying that the song has taken on a whole new meaning.
One twitterer wrote, "lead singer of #linkinpark has committed suicide, new single is released the same day. Truly heartbreaking. RIP,' while another said, '@linkinpark posted this b4 @ChesterBe decided to 'end' his life ?? #TalkingToMyself #RIPChester."
Bennington had spoken openly about his struggles with drug and alcohol addictions as well as about being molested by an older man when he was a child.
The musician is survived by his wife Talinda Bentley and six children.
