Friday’s tribute to Chester Bennington was an emotional, star-packed goodbye to Linkin Park’s frontman. The band was joined by a number of their musical peers, including Alanis Morissette, Bush’s Gavin Rossdale,Kiiara and members of Blink 182, Bring Me the Horizon, Echosmith, M. Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold, Jonathan Davis, and System of a Down’s Daron Malakian and Shavo Odadjian. The three shour show included 31 songs, one of the highlights being a new song that Mike Shinoda wrote about a week after Bennington’s passing. The song is called “Looking For an Answer,” and  it’s a stark song performed solo by Shinoda that almost sounds like a therapy session. While the band didn’t state whether they would continue on without Bennington, the show proved to be a cathartic memorial to a band that impacted many. You can stream the entire show below.
