Mike Shinoda pays tribute to the late Chester Bennington, along with Sum 41
Sum 41 surprised its audience when it called out Mike Shinoda, and the two soon began to play covers of some of the classic 'Linkin Park' songs, as the audience joined them to pay tribute to the late Chester Bennington at Britain’s Reading Festival over the weekend. The performance on the main stage at the southern leg of Reading & Leeds took place ahead of co-headline sets from Kendrick Lamar and Panic! At The Disco.
Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley welcomed Shinoda on stage to join them for the cover of 'Faint' from their 2003 album 'Meteora'.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have a very, very special guest with us tonight, say hello to Mr. Mike Shinoda." The Linkin Park rapper joined the band on stage as the rap duo sang out verses of the song. As the performance drew to a close, Whibley gave a shoutout to Shinoda and remembered the Linkin Park lead singer who committed suicide last July, "Chester, we miss you."
