The Linkin Park singer - who passed away in July 2017 - was remembered by the 44-year-old teacher, as she admitted she misses him "dearly".

Taking to Twitter, she wrote: "Happy Birthday. You would have been 45 and yes, Tyler would have you doing this dance again!

"This life without you never gets easier or less painful. We miss you dearly. We will celebrate you in so many ways today ... Tyler teaching the girls and I this dance will be just one. We love you forever. (sic)"

Meanwhile, Chester's mother Susan Eubanks admitted in 2019 that she had "no words" to explain how much she misses him.

She wrote on Twitter: "The last kiss I ever got from my wonderful boy! There are no words to explain how much I miss him!

"I want us to all celebrate his life today! Love you all! Please take care and celebrate Chester's life today! He would want us to celebrate! (sic)"

Whilst Talinda wrote in her own tribute: "Hey guys, I woke up this morning to lots of messages of love and support from my friends and family, and I wanted to pass along to you the same love and support.

"Today is going to be a really hard day for a lot of people, and that may be you. I just want you to know that you're loved, you matter, and the world means something with you in it. And today let's make Chester proud, and take care of each other, because that's what he would want us to do."
