Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington was bitten by a poisonous spider in a hotel in Mansfield, Minnesota on August 8. Chester is currently on holiday with his wife, but will be receiving treatment on his return.

"He's absolutely fine," says the band's UK press officer. "Linkin Park didn't have to cancel any shows - they've just finished their Ozzfest trek - and they'll be back in action soon."
