Jay-Z needs y’all to roar for Chester Bennington.
The rapper, 47, paid tribute to the Linkin Park frontman with a performance of their collaboration “Numb/Encore” at the U.K.’s Virgin V Festival Sunday night, one month after Bennington was found dead after he hanged himself at his Los Angeles home.
“Can you guys light it up tonight for Chester?” Jay-Z asked the Stafford, England, crowd. “Linkin Park, one time, tonight. Please make some noise so he can hear you all the way in heaven tonight!”
The hit is from Collision Course, the 2004 album that mashed up Jay-z and Linkin Park songs.
