In a recent interview, LP rapper Mike Shinoda said:

“With something like this, and it was the same at his funeral… I know that the circumstances of his passing were really dark, and as we said at the time, the darkness that he had was always there and was kind of part of the package, but what was so unique and special about this guy is that he used it as fuel to do so many positive things.

“The fans have been incredible. I don’t think we could have ever expected such an outpouring of love and all these tributes,” Mike added. “Fans everywhere were making these montages of images of Chester, images of themselves to this song and so we realised it struck a chord with them and we wanted to let them know we see that, we hear that so we made an official video for that.”

The gig will take place on October 27 at the legendary Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, which will see the band donate all their fees to the Music For Relief’s One More Light Fund in memory of Chester.
