Linkin Park share tribute to late Chester Bennington

Linkin Park have shared a touching tribute to the late Chester Bennington with an emotional video of his last performance of their track, Crawling.

The live recording was filmed just before the frontman's sudden death in July this year, after he took his own life following a long battle with depression.

Taking to Twitter to share the poignant dedication to their lost bandmate, fans expressed how moved they were by the video which shows Chester spending the entirety of the song among the crowd.

The song, which is an acoustic version of their legendary original, is the first look at their tribute album One More Light: Live, which is released next Friday December 15.

“Chester was uniquely passionate, uncommonly generous, sensitive, optimistic, and kind, the band wrote on Twitter recently. "With his voice, he turned pain into catharsis, authenticity into art, and passion into connection. His dedication to bringing these songs to life was triumphant."

“We hope this live album gives our fans a glimpse into how magical these shows were for the six of us," they added in the heartfelt series of posts. “We dedicate this live album to our brother Chester who poured his heart and soul into One More Light."

Chester died of suicide after a life-long battle with depression and addiction, which was finally tipped over the edge following the loss of his close friend, Chris Cornell.

The rock legend, who was just 41 when he died, left behind his wife of 12 years, Talinda and their three children together, Tyler, and twins Lila and Lily.

Chester also father to Jaime, Isaiah, and Draven from a previous marriage.
