The music world is still reeling from the loss of Linkin Park‘s Chester Bennington back in July. Since the tragic news came out, the remaining members of the band have posted photos and tributes of Chester online, and now they’ve unveiled their new “One More Light” video, as well as details on an official tribute show.
Co-director Joe Hahn said this on the video, “It has been incredibly emotional to work on this, and especially to watch it. I feel that by doing it, we not only faced some of our biggest fears, but it enabled us to use our talents to bring some light to people that need it. As we move forward to the Hollywood Bowl show and beyond, I think about the people that connect with the band, outside and inside our circle. This video is a gesture of good will to the people that want that connection.”
Mike Shinoda added, “One More Light was written with the intention of sending love to those who lost someone. We now find ourselves on the receiving end. In memorial events, art, videos, and images, fans all over the world have gravitated towards this song as their declaration of love and support for the band and the memory of our dear friend, Chester. We are so very grateful and can’t wait to see you again.”
As for the tribute show, the one-night-only celebration will take place in Los Angeles at the legendary Hollywood Bowl on Friday, October 27th. The band will be joined by a number of other artists, for an unforgettable night of music to honor the man that touched the lives of so many around the world. Public on-sale starts Friday, September 22nd at 10AM Los Angeles time on Ticketmaster.com.
