We'd Like To Know: Which Chester Bennington Lyrics Are Most Important To You?
Chester Bennington was a hell of a frontman and musician, but in particular, Chester's lyrics touched a lot of lives, changed a lot of lives and possibly even saved a lot of lives. We'd like find a way to remember that.
This weekend Linkin Park played an incredibly moving show with lots of other artists at the Hollywood Bowl to honour the band’s late lead singer, Chester Bennington, who was found dead in his California home on July 20.
His bandmates were joined by 30 other artists and bands, including blink-182, Avenged Sevenfold and members of Sum 41 and System Of A Down.
The three hour show was called Linkin Park Celebrates Life in Honour of Chester Bennington and was led by Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda. You can see the whole thing here.
