On Friday night, in what was the first concert since the death of their lead singer three months ago, the members of Linkin Park took stage for a commemorative concert at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. The event, titled Linkin Park & Friends Celebrate Life in Honor of Chester Bennington, featured more than a dozen artists honoring the musician, father, husband, and friend to all. The concert was also a way to remember the beloved singer and bring awareness for depression and suicide prevention through the One More Light Fund, a by-product of Linkin Park’s charitable Music For Relief organization.

The night-included guests such as Blink-182, who led by singer Matt Skiba, went head first into their own “I Miss You.” The “What’s My Age Again?” band were joined by the members of Linkin Park when Mark Hoppus and company began to play “What I’ve Done,” from LP’s third album, 2007’s Minutes to Midnight. M. Shadows of the hardcore act, Avenged Sevenfold, thundered through both “Burn It Down” and “Faint,” with the singer channeling Bennington’s enraged howl, Don’t turn your back on me/ I won’t be ignored! “Faint” is off Linkin Park’s 2003’s Meteora while “Burn It Down” is on 2012’s Living Things.
