Watch Linkin Park Pay Tribute To Chester Bennington In An Emotional New Video
They've reinvented one of their biggest tracks.
Linkin Park have shared a new live version of their Hybrid Theory track ‘Crawling’, filmed just before the sudden death of frontman Chester Bennington in July this year.
The track — which is stripped back to just piano, with Bennington spending the entirety of the song among the crowd — is the first visual preview of their upcoming tribute album One More Light: Live, which lands next Friday December 15.
The live album will feature 16 songs, including their biggest Hybrid Theory and Meteroa cuts like ‘In The End’, ‘Numb’, and ‘Bleed It Out’, all of which were recorded on their South American and Europe tours earlier this year.
“We dedicate this live album to our brother Chester who poured his heart and soul into One More Light,” the band wrote on Twitter last month. “After we finished recording the album, we joked with Chester that — since he had delivered so many stunning performances in the studio — he had set the bar extra high to produce that alchemy on stage each night. Not surprisingly, he welcomed the challenge.
“Chester was uniquely passionate, uncommonly generous, sensitive, optimistic, and kind. 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.”
