LP plan public event to honor Chester

Linkin Park will host a public event in Los Angeles to honour late singer Chester Bennington. The band announced their plans in a short but poignant note on Facebook, saying they would share specific details soon.

Bennington died by suicide on July 20.

Linkin Park also addressed their fans, writing, “Just wanted to say thank you to all our fans around the world for the tremendous outpouring of love, which has strengthened our spirit during this incredibly difficult time. The five of us are so grateful for all of your support as we heal and build the future of Linkin Park.”

Linkin Park has not performed or made many public appearances since Bennington's death. However, the band did issue a statement in which they discussed their “grief and denial” while reminiscing about their time with the singer.

Fans around the world have also organised their own public memorials, while many musicians have also honoured the late singer at concerts.
