During a performance in Milwaukee last week, the front man of rock band Disturbed, David Draiman admitted to the crowd that he deeply missed his late friends Chester Bennington, Chris Cornell and Scott Weiland, adding that he "almost joined them".

The 50-year-old singer spoke to the crowd about his "demons". "The demons that are known as addiction and depression are very, very real. They are diseases no different than cancer. You can't see depression. You can't see addiction. It festers inside. It metastasizes, takes over your body and mind, your soul," said the singer in a heartfelt speech.

He also added, "And I miss the friends that we've lost. I miss Chester, I miss Scott, I miss Chris. And if I can be completely honest with you, a couple months ago, I almost joined them."

Draiman took the moment to speak about his feelings before performing "A Reason to Fight". After the performance of the song, the band displayed contact details for suicide helplines.
