Mike Shinoda's Emotional Tribute To Chester Bennington At Reading Festival

Mike Shinoda has paid tribute to good mate Chester Bennington, getting the crowd to sing Linkin Park hit In the End at the Reading Festival.

Shinoda asked the crowd if they were ready to belt out his next song - which happened to be one of Linkin Park's most famous.

He then sung his part, egging the crowd on to sing Bennington's lines.

"If it's as simple as, you just really liked or loved Chester's singing, or you loved the band's music, or you're just dealing with your own stuff that has nothing to do with us, hopefully by coming to these shows and enjoying the music, and by engaging in this type of thing, it makes some of that bad feeling just go away," he told the crowd.

"I don't know if you're quite ready. I want you guys to sing it so loud that Chester can hear you."

It's pretty emotional.
